Re: My WDSC annoyances

Brian,

You are right about the version. I am on V7. I believe my complaint still
stands with the subset. If they have the function there to display a drop
down list, why does it not remember the last XX number of subset entries?
It does in other places in WDSC.

Also, I use it to subset a list of procedures/programs within a source
file. For example, I have a source file for a system that all the members
start with BC followed by a 3 digit number. The text describes the function
of the piece of code. I don't need/want a filter to show all BC001* pieces
that make up a program. There may be 10 ILE COBOL or CL procedures that
start with BC001*. Then when I want to work with all BC099* source, I
should just be able to select the subset use. I don't need to have a filter
for BC001* source members, and another one for BC099* and another for BC002*
and ...

As I said, an annoyance. Just a different way to work with source files and
members. I just like to see all source members, and then subset within the
table view.

You don't say which version you are complaining about.

With V7 the Remote System Details is better-behaved. I use it to peruse
PDF
files stored in my IFS directory. However other plug-ins (like
SoftLanding,
probably) can affect this view. For example, Aldon LMi plug-in uses this
view and seems to be the cause of the same column-resizing problems you
report.

If you use the same subsets frequently, isn't that what filters are for?
Create filters, then right-click and use show-in-table.
