RE: WDSCI-L Digest, Vol 2, Issue 140

When I try to use my lpex editor I get a null file message. Has anyone else 
experienced this. I can use the same connection and open the file with my code 
editor. I can see my libraries, members, objects, run commands, create filters 
and so on, but not edit source. We are using WDSc 5.0 a , with OS400 v5r2. Any 
thoughts, ideas/ I contacted the  Toronto lab a number of times but did not get 
an answer.

subject: [WDSCI-L] Errors appear in source editor

Trying my hand at 5.1 now - frustrated so far.  While being accustomed to
editing RPGLE source and working with the Error List in the lower window, I
used to be able to double-click an error and the cursor would position to
that line of source in the editing window.  It still does that, but now
inserts ALL errors into the source code in the editing window.  Can I stop
this behavior?

This is not exactly what you want, but when coding RPG there is something
called Show Indentation. Go to the Source menu and select Show Indentation.
A new view will appear next to the LPEX editor that shows the same source
code (albeit with flow control structures indented). 

You can scroll independently through the indent view, and you can select,
copy, paste, and so forth.  You can't search, but you can define a user
action key to filter whatever you select in the indent view, which can be a
quick way top find things and move around. CTRL+W to show all again.

I know everyone is different, but for myself, I could never scroll through
source code to find things as quickly as I can with the Outline, the Find
function (CTRL+F), and the view filters.

Not many votes on these issues...

I am trying to make myself use the new interface (been using Code/400), but
I find that not being able to have multiple windows of the same source file
is killing me.

I will usually have one window where I do my coding, and a second view where
I lookup KLISTs, etc...

Maybe we should all go vote?

Or have I missed some other workaround?

Also, where can I change the RSE default to launch CODE instead of the lpex
editor?

Thanks!

You can't, not even with Java code.  The Eclipse UI framework doesn't have
anything to support it.

There is an Eclipse enhancement request for it, so perhaps it will be in a
future version of WDSC for LPEX editor.  Right now, though, it doesn't look
like it will be in Eclipse 3.0.  The same goes for having two editors open
in maximize view.

Amen to that! I find the JLPEX editor basically unusable for this
reason. Fortunately, we still have Code/400 available.

If you're in a voting mood, it wouldn't hurt to add your vote to this
feature within FRED:

https://www7b.software.ibm.com/webapp/wsdd/studioServlet3?client=form210
&SID=1080337524900&SAVEKEY=188

I know it's an Eclipse platform issue, but IBM built Eclipse, so if
enough customers ask for this to be added, I have no doubt that they can
build the enhancement and submit it accordingly.

I agree - and would add the missing Navigator and Compare functions to the
list.  Before anyone tells me there is a compare (in fact there are two) - I
mean a _useable_ compare function.

Not that I can find - and it is one of a number of reasons why I still use
CODE as well as WDSc - the plethora of messages makes it nearly impossible
to work with errors in WDSc.

I don't mind it inserting all the actual errors (CODE did that too) but CODE
at least honored the ignore/show settings.  WDSc doesn't - it is a royal
pain in the ....

It still doesn't work the way it should Eric.  If I have ignored warnings in
the list, it shouldn't insert them.  Having it insert only the one you
clicked is OK - but why was a working function castrated in the first place?

In fact on my machine (can't speak for others but I have the latest fixes
installed - I checked this morning) if I select anything other than "Insert
all" it doesn't insert anything _and_ doesn't position the edit window!

subject: [WDSCI-L] Tip: How to find default LPEX key actions

   Here's how to find the default editor actions for keystrokes, mouse
   clicks, and prefix commands:

   From the workbench if you select 'Help contents' from the 'Help' menu, it
   will launch the browser to the 'Tips for using help' page.  
   Then in the left-hand pane, expand the following through the navigation
   tree:
   'iSeries application developer information',
   +'Editing iSeries applications',
    +'LPEX editor',
     +'Setting LPEX editor profiles'.  

   Under this is a list of the 8 profiles you can select. 'seu base profile'
   is the default (at least I believe it is).  Click on 'seu base profile'
   and you' get a long list of all the default actions for the editor: Key
   Settings (keystrokes), Mouse Event Settings, and Prefix Commands.  I've
   printed it off (about 14 pages) and keep it handy.  Viewing it online is
   also helpful as the actions are hyperlinked to definitions of what they
   do.  You can also do a Ctrl-F search for a word describing an action or a
   keystroke to look up its default action.
