Rick:
Thanks for the tip!
That certainly provides the information. Yes, fields are shown in tables
for logical files.
My problem is that the data file has to be exposed in the RSE tree view
before you can open it with Table View. This can be a fair amount of
drilling and take some time. The library containing the files has 7452
objects (writing this while waiting for expansion) Then I have to get the
cursor on the right object -- typing the first letter should be helpful
but most of the objects are named CK something or another.
I am working on objects in my own library, after having checked things out
of that big one.
What I'd like is to right click something in the outline view and see the
details.

Bill,
Right click on a physical file object (not sure if it works on logical
files yet) in RSE tree view and select show in table -> fields. This will
open the iSeries Field Table View which gives all the field information.

I just did for the first time. It is very nice! It reminds me of one
short coming ... the outline view of the RPG (or other) program doesn't
have any way to show the TEXT associated with the field in a file. Showing
the properties of fields in files would be very nice.
Thanks for all your help.

Hi Tim,
1. The tree view doesn't support this - although if you look at the
properties view - you will see the description when an item is selected in
the tree view. You should probably try the table view.
2. Keys can be easily remapped to do other things - check the mailing
list archives for discussions on this at length. You'll also want to read
the reference help for what LPEX actions are available/do (scrollTop,
scrollUp come to mind)
3. Remote Systems LPEX Editor has an auto-save feature. Default is set to
every 5 minutes. Check out Windows>Preferences, Remote Systems>Remote
Systems LPEX Editor
4. There is no way to currently do this. It is on our list of
requirements.
5. Standard windows copy/paste keys can be used, along with a few extras
provided in LPEX (check the Edit menu for selection options)
6. Drag and drop from table view to RS LPEX is currently not available.
It is also on our list of requirements.
7. Ctrl+F5, or either Source>Remove Errors, or Source>Refresh. Its on
our list of requirements to automatically remove these during error list
reloads.
I recommend that you try the tutorials included in the product as well as
the PDM/SEU transition to RSE/LPEX - which was revamped and rewritten for
v7.0. Also, if you go to the WDSC web site
(
http://www.ibm.com/software/awdtools/wdt400) and search the support
section - you will find additional tutorials and the labs from COMMON.

Hello to all,
There has been lots of talk about this product that has spilled over
onto
the midrange list, and it has me once again attempting to give it a
shot.
I
hate to think of myself as non adaptive and unable to embrace new
technologies, methods, etc. So hear goes again. Currently I'm only
coding
old school RPG type programs, so the following questions pertain to RSE.
And most of the following relates back to how I do things in PDM/SEU,
only
because that's all I know at the moment. I attempted a fairly easy
modification to an existing program, and came up with the follow list
of things I found that I take for granted in SEU.
1. Is there a way to list libs, objects, members, etc in the Remote
Systems
view with descriptions?
2. Can I condition page ups and downs by cursor position? Or at
least
jump
the cursor to the top or bottem of the displayed view, then I could
roll
by
line up or down.
3. In SEU, when I hit <enter>, I know it has been saved, even if I
loose
my
session. Do I have to continually save my work?
4. In SEU, when I hit enter, the editor will automatically position
my cursor to where I need to key additional data? I know tab moves me
to
the
next input position, but not whether it requires input. And by the
time auto syntax checking informs me, I have spent time reading the
message, relocating my cursor, etc.
5. Do I have to use the mouse to copy lines from one member to another?
6. How can I copy field names in to the member? I added a table to
the Table View, I can see all my fields, but can't copy and paste from
there.
7. After compiling, getting errors, and fixing them, and recompiling
successfully, the error messages are still showing in the edit view.
How can I get rid of them with out closing the member?
Believe it or not, I had a lot more questions, but figured many of
them
out.
Which brings up my last question (for now:). How do you work through
learning the functionality of this application? Currently I'm just
stumbling through the basics, and I know I'm not doing many things the
most
productive way.
Thanks for all you help, Tim
