Re: Customizing WDSC

When I use the right-click, /copy member, open for editing function and do 
a search&replace, I can quickly Alt+arrow-key between the two tabs 
(side-by-side, if I've dragged the copy-member to edit it side-by-side) 
and the search&replace values are still active  - -  at least editing 
COBOL, I don't recall that RPG is different.

I would tend to agree with having the copy-member in a separate window. If 
I'm changing something on the interface for it, I'm going to have to 
modify it in at least a couple other places.  If I'm changing Calc specs, 
I'm not sure I see any benefit over having that in a separate tab/window. 
If not, then why do we put these things in a copy-member?

It would make it that much more streamlined to develop IMO.  Let's say you
were doing a find/replace. It would be nice to have the copy books 
included
in that source file when the find/replace deals with a procedures 
interface
and prototype.  I also store "public" DS's that I are used to pass to sub
procedures in the copybook.  Having them all available in one window 
would,
again, make find/replace very easy and would keep me from forgetting to
change the others.  Of course I would eventually get notified of it during
compile...

I hate to sound regressive, but why is it that your workflow is such that
the content of a /COPY member needs to be inlined? 
If you have /COPY's in your Calc specs, then I get it, but for "headers"
(i.e., prototypes, imported variables, named constants, etc.) I don't
understand why you wouldn't want it in a different window/tab.
