RE: [WDSCI-L] WDSC fast PDM like browsing tip

[Kelly Cookson <KCookson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This isn't exactly what you were talking about, but...

You can use an asterisk as a wild card in defining the member name, which
can give some degree of control over the number of members returned.  And a
scroll bar appears for the Table View if the number of entries grows large
enough. 

So, for example, I can enter PR* as the member name (which resolves about
150 or so members in a source physical file containing over a thousand
members), and then I can scroll down through the list using the scrollbar. I
could enter PR12* to narrow the number of members resolved in the table to
less than 20. 

Thanks,
Kelly

Cool!  I have only ever used the Table View for looking at folders in
the IFS.  What would rock is if they could modify that table filter view
to operate similar to PDM and allow you to page up and down within a
source physical file, only displaying 20 records at a time or something.
I shudder whenever I have to go into our main production source file to
page through the members. 

Thanks for the tip-extension :-)

I recently saw a tip about how to open a member if you knew the exact
name and location of the source member using a right-click on 'iSeries
Objects'
and then Open Member.  I'd like to further expand on this that you can
also pull up a quick list of member or objects, like you do in PDM,
without creating a filter.  Its called the iSeries Table View, and you
can select it from the 'Windows-Show View-Other-iSeries-iSeries Table
View'.  Once this is up, it usually stays up so you don't have to do
this every time.

Anyway, once the view is open, click on the little black down pointing
triangle to pull up a menu and select the 'work with' selection.  I
think you'll get it from there, you can work with libraries, objects, or
member, almost exactly like you do with PDM.
