Re: WDSCi and RPGLE source on the IFS

Arco,

I doubt what you're after is available.  Try entering a compile command on 
a command line and then prompt it.  The command assumes you have a source 
physical file member.  There is an option for an 'Include directory'. That 
would be for RPG copy files -- i.e., 'includes' for your source.

I don't think IFS source was ever intended to replace source physical file 
members, rather to supplement them for copy files, etc.  Take a look at 
the parameters on the CRTBNDRPG or CRTRPGMOD commands.  A source physical 
file member is required.

Frankly, I've never fully understood the value of using them.  If you do, 
you loose some things;  e.g., the automatic date stamp when a line is 
changed, SEU editing, etc.  (Not that I'm advocating using SEU anymore, 
but date stamping changed lines applies to the workbench as well as SEU.)

If I'm wrong, somebody please correct me.

subject: [WDSCI-L] WDSCi and RPGLE source on the IFS

   Hi All,

   I'm struggling with IFS sources and their behaviour in WDSCi projects
   (6.0.1)
   I have created an iSeries project, and I want to add an RPGLE source 

to it

   that is located on the IFS.
   When I do so, then the iSeries Project wants also an associated 

source

   physical file on the remote system.
   If I ignore the creation of this physical, I can't use the compile
   commands on the menu with the source in the iSeries project 

Navigation

   window. A resource import from "Remote File Source" has the same 

problem.

   I also tried to import the IFS file into a "Simple Project" but when 

I

   then open the navigation window for that type, then I am missing
   completely the compile commands on the menu.
   What am I doing wrong? Is it possible what I want?

   TIA, Arco Simonse
