Re: Source Compare/Merge added to RSE Extensions

I don't know if anyone else has tried installing these yet, but after 
installing the updates (using automatic updates feature), I lost syntax 
highlighting in LPEX for RPG source.  I will hunt down the solution in the 
archives.

The RSE Extensions have been updated to version 6.1.0.  This new version 

brings three new features to the RSE Extensions:

1.  Graphical Source Compare/Merge.  Basically works like PDM options 
54/55.  Select your development source member, right-click and choose 

RSE 

Extensions -> Compare or Merge.  This brings up a dialog to specify the 
additional member(s) and then shows the results using the Eclipse 
graphical compare/merge engine.  In order to work properly on iSeries 
source code the first 12 bytes, the sequence number and date, have to be 

stripped from the local member.  So when you save source from this 

editor 

those bytes are reset to default values.

2.  Edit Data Area.  Right-click on a *DTAARA object and choose RSE 
Extensions -> Change Data Area and you get a dialog that shows the 
attributes and current value of the *DTAARA.  You can edit the value and 

update the contents of the *DTAARA using the dialog.

3.  Display Data Queue.  You get the idea.  Right click on a *DTAQ and 
choose RSE Extensions -> Display Data Queue.  This brings up a dialog 

that 

shows the attributes of the *DTAQ as well as the contents of the first 
item in the queue based on the sequence.

There is a bit more detail on the RSE Extensions Overview page:

http://support.softlanding.com/opensource/site/overview.html

If you already have the extensions installed, checking for updates from 
within WDSC should find this new version and install it.  Otherwise, to 

do 

a first time install or to view more information just visit this page:

http://www.softlanding.com/websphere/rse.htm

WDSC Lite users, I am not exactly sure what you do.  I believe you are 
technically supposed to apply updates to your main version of WDSC and 
then re-run the process of creating the Lite version.  You might also 

just 

be able to copy the plug-in folder for the new version to the WDSC Lite 
folder.

Finally, just as a reminder, the RSE Extensions are available for free 
under an open source license, the IBM CPL.  It would be great if some of 

you in the community wanted to hone your Java skills by contributing to 
the project.  The new dialogs for *DTAARA and *DTAQ would be fairly easy 

to extend to other object types and would be a good learner project for 
someone that wanted to contribute new extensions.

Thanks

Mark
