I understand exactly what you're saying. What I'm suggesting is that there is no way that WDSC can know what happened on the OS400 side. For instance, if you use SEU to change a display file and PDM option 14 to compile it, your WDSC environment will not know about it. In fact, the WDSC cache will remember only the last time you made changes within WDSC. The WDSC 'process' if you will basically wants you to make your changes on the WDSC side and push them to OS400. Doing it the other way round will mean extra work.
If it really isn't the cache, then there is a very high probability that it's the library list. Look at the compile listing produced by WDSC to make certain.
I have this crazy idea that WDSC should

WDSC is a lot more complex than SEU/PDM. It does a LOT more stuff and it's completely configurable. That makes it hard to get up to speed in an hour. No question about it. Nobody but you can say if the extra stuff is worth it or not, and nobody but you can say if (or when) you should pull the plug and give it up.
I personally am as old school as they come, and I made it past the pain point to the point where I don't use SEU at all any more. I do use green screen to run programs, inspect results and so on. So I don't personally insist on doing _everything_ in WDSC. If you find the compiles a problem then compile on the green screen side.
There aren't any WDSC police who will harass you because you still use green screen. You can absolutely take things one step at a time. And if you decide to never use anything except the editor, then that's fine. Do what you need to do.
