Re: query updateProfile.baseProfile says seu?!

Hey Buck,

I think others have addressed the resequence issue.

For action names, you can check the LPEX documentation in the help (not the
javadocs) for action names, and in addition, when you have a member open,
if you use the actions editor command you can see if there are additional
actions added by a parser or RS LPEX. Try here in the help:
Developing iSeries server aplications->
  Editing,compiling....->
    Editing->
       Lpex Editor->
          Default editor actions.

No sure what you are looking for that is iSeries specific  - but I would
note that
1) RSE contains many APIs, you will need to refer to the RSE javadocs
2) The iSeries parsers are not documented as they weren't intended for
users to extend them (and as previously mentioned - they are not open
source)

hope that helps!

Hi Adrian!

Two fairly recent articles with step-by-step

 > instructions for creating plug-ins that extend LPEX:

Thanks, I read Mr Casey's tutorials before posting.  I'm at that
intermediate stage where I know what I want to do but I can't pick out
which bits of documentation I need to read in order to work out the
mechanics.

I've looked at both the LPEX Editor help and the Reference, APIs, LPEX
API documentation and I don't see stuff that's iSeries-specific.  A for
instance would be to add a button/menu option to do Source, Resequence
all lines.  I can't figure out what the action name is.

In looking at LpexView, I see that I can use actionId(actionname) to
return the action ID, but I don't see a way to interrogate the list of
actions to get the names.  How can I determine the action ID or name for
Source, Resequence?  Is there a Remote Systems LPEX manual somewhere?

I'll keep fiddling with the examples but like Tom, I'm looking for a
little more detail on how the bits all fit together.  Tom, I'm at a new
job, new PC and all that and just downloaded ooRexx again
(http://www.oorexx.org/).  I'll see if I can't figure out how to pass a
Java object to ooRexx and back, but I think that's too much work.  It'll
be easier to just do all the work in Java, register the classes with
Eclipse/RSE and hook in that way.
