Re: WDSC lockup (was: Rational Updater)

What do you see?  I just now fired up WDSC, created a filter for all objects
in *ALLUSR, and went to open it.  In the status bar, I see a flashing
progress bar with a red square "Cancel Current Operation" button.  I click
the button, the operation is canceled.  No, there is no way to move this to
the background, but that's a nice to have for me.  I guess I don't create
many filters that contain thousands of members.  What do you use them for?
Certainly you don't page through them, do you?

In other long-running operations (e.g., search operations over multiple
iSeries source files), after a period of time (measured in tens of seconds,
I would estimate) a box pops up saying "operation is taking a long time,
would you like to cancel?"
