Re: [WDSCI-L] Post your top 10 WDSC problems ... (Compile options greyed out)

   David,

   I do repeatedly check the menu, but I don't know it would be called
   'continually'.  In the case below, I believe there was one or more periods
   of at least 20 seconds or so that I didn't have any menu options
   displayed.  I'll make absolutely positive that I'm not "hanging" on a menu
   and I'll send another message if I still have problems.

   Thanks,

   The compile menu action is grayed out before the save has been made on the
   iSeries.  Once the operation is complete, it should become enabled again.
   Save occurs on a thread and, within WDSC, whenever a menu is displayed,
   the
   threaded activity is suspended.  So one possibility for the action staying
   grayed out is that the menu keeps being displayed.  Michael, when you
   encounter this problem, are you continually checking the menu?  I agree
   that we should provide some indication of what's going on during the save.

   The dirty indicator goes away immediately after saving indicating that the
   editor contents have been saved to the cached file in the workspace.
   However those changes still need to be propogated down to the host.

      I don't think this is the problem.  I just saved a small source member
     and for over three minutes I couldn't get the compile options.  Perhaps
     the workbench disables the options when it goes to save the member and
     isn't getting everything synched for when the member is saved?
