Re: When is SEU going away?

First, you CAN'T run a FNDSTRPDM across multiple source files; you have 

to

run it across each one individually.  You can bring up the source members 

in

WRKOBJPDM and do a 25 on each one, but then you have to search every 

member

in the file.  Is that what you do?  Or do you search the files 

individually?

Do you do your WDSC search one file at a time as well?  Or do you use a
generic file name?  Because the generic file lookup takes a little while.
I'm just trying to get an idea of if you're comparing apples to apples.

Joe,

In PDM when I am trying to determine the scope of a proposed change, I use 
WRKOBJPDM to display a list of source files, and put option 25 in the 
option fields of the selected source file(s), and submit the search to 
batch. That produces 2 reports, one showing the lines that match the 
search string, and the other showing the names of the source members with 
matches. Often I am more interested at this point with the number of 
source members found with matches, just to get a handle on the scope of 
work. While this is searching I'm doing other things.

I just ran a search in RSE, using Find String on a list of selected source 
files. This is not the way I did it in the past, and this produces a list 
that appears to be much more useful. I don't know what search function I 
was doing in the past, but WDSC was copying individual source members from 
the I5 to perform the search. Perhaps I was selecting all of the members 
in the file, and not the file itself.

Thanks for the time, Joe. This will take some investigation. However the 
lack of a report still keeps me tied to my PC, and make the list difficult 
to share.
