I'm just getting started with WDSC/RSE...

I'm just now starting to use RSE in WDSC. I have run into a couple of
issues, one I have "worked around" but there may be a better solution that I
am not aware of...the other, I have no clue. I am changing an RPG program
where some of the file names on the 'F' spec do not match the actual DB2
file names. The solution I got from a COMMON speaker was to create a CMD
filter and issue overrides (OVRDBF's). This did not work. When I tried to
validate, I still received errors on those files. So I then created "dummy"
files with the same names as my RPG file names in a test library on our
iSeries and added that library to the bottom of the library list in WDSC.
This worked, but is it the only/best solution? Second problem: After I
fixed the first problem, when I validated my RPG pgm, I had some field name
problems with my display file. I changed my display file on the Iseries and
recompiled it. When I tried to validate again, it did not pick up the newly
recompiled data definitions..I got the same errors. I ended up getting
completely out of WDSC and restarted it and am still getting the same
result. How do I refresh my data definitions in WDSC to get a valid
validation? I suppose I would have the same problem with physical files
too?

Thank you for your help,

James Wood
