Re: Comparing Sources

Bill,

Click one source member in the Remote Sytems view, then hold the CTRL
key down while clicking a second member.  Then right click either of
them and select compare with --> each other.

This isn't so much about learning RSE as it is learning Windows.  The
CTRL + Click and Shift + Click for multiple file selection is pretty
much a Windows standard.

HTH

|This is probably a question already asked and answered, but like so
much
|of RSE finding the answer is an exercise in pain and frustration.  I am
|trying very hard to wean myself away from PDM.  I now find out that IBM
|has made it, almost, impossible to do that because of the screen and
|print design being relegated to the "Advanced Version".  That confuses
|me since Screen design and print file design are not WEB related yet
the
|Advanced Version seems to be geared towards WEB.
|
|
|I digress.  I want to compare 2 different source modules and have hit a
|wall called RSE.  I right click on a source member and choose Compare
|and there is a grayed out "Each Other".  I went to HELP and got
|
|
| Simple compare
|
|
|In the Navigator select file1.txt and file2.txt choose Compare With >
|Each Other from the context menu.
|
|A dialog will appear indicating that the two files are the same.
|
|
|
|I am unable to select a second source member.  Just one question--- WHY
|DOES EVERYTHING IN RSE HAVE TO BE A CHORE?  Nothing is straight
forward.
|Has the KISS principle been thrown away with the advent of GUI?  IN 40
|years KISS has always worked the best, from tubes and punch cards to 8"
|floppy disks and Remote Batch Processors to Green Screens. (3 years and
|counting)
