Re: Editing source

Hi Violaine

Thanks for the feedback. 

Is there a way of getting better compile feedback when you kick it off from the 
Iseries Project.  At the moment it just submits a job, but there is no real 
indicator of whether or not the program compiled until you specifically go in 
and request a list of errors.

The compile from the RSE gives you instant feedback, hence the temptation to 
compile from there instead of the Iseries Project itself.

Hi Kevin,

When verifying from an iSeries project, the Error List view should open your 
project version of your member.
If you look in the error list, you can see the difference when a project events 
file is loaded because the title is:
project -- <connection>lib/file(mbr)

When compiling from iSeries projects (by right clicking on the member, 
selecting Remote Actions->Compile->compile_cmd) You should then see the member 
pushed to the host (if needed) then the Job Status view appear after the 
compile is submitted.  When the job has completed, you can right click on the 
job and select Task Actions->Retrieve Errors.  This will download the events 
file into the Error List view.  Again the title is different than when 
compiling members from RSE:
connection -- job_name
Double clicking in the error list should open the project version.

The only times during compile/verify when you double click and the project 
version of the member might not be opened is:
1) you project references are not correctly set and your /COPY members or Copy 
books have errors in the error list and are in a different project/library
2) The /COPY members or Copy books have errors in the error list and have not 
yet been downloaded to a project

If you continue to have problems with the remote copy being opened, I suggest 
that you contact your IBM support folks for assistance.

thanks,
