Buck:
I just installed Eclipse Monkey and it looks really promising! Thanks for
letting us know about this! I could see it replacing the Rexx macro
functions in CODE/400.
I took one of the examples and got it to read a local file for input. This
gets me close to what I want.
In CODE/400 I use the CODESRV function to extract file field information to
a local file then I have Rexx macros process that output to create d-specs,
c-specs, SQL statements and the like.
Since there does not seem to be the equivalent to the CODESRV function in
WDSc, it would be great if we could figure out how get Eclipse Monkey read
field information from the 'iSeries Field Table View'.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to go about extracting that table data?
Thanks,
John

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Eclipse scripting
There is a scripting project called Eclipse Monkey which looks like it
might work with WDSC 7! Use the Eclipse updater (not the IBM updater)
and add remote site Dash
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/dash/update/ then select Monkey
and Rhino. Instructions are at
http://www.eclipse.org/dash/monkey-help.php?key=installing
I tried the one at the Europa site, but I think that's for a more recent
version of Eclipse. The Dash version works with WDSC 7.0.0.2 / Eclipse
3.2.2
When WDSC restarts, there will be a new menu item: Scripts. Click
'Example' and it will create some example scripts for you. Once that's
done, add a comment in an Lpex session, select a few spaces in that line
and then try Scripts->Editors->Replace Selection with Date
The scripts go in a folder inside your WDSC repository. My repository
is c:/buck/wdsc7. The examples went into c:/buck/wdsc7/Eclipse Monkey
Examples/scripts
You can use WDSC to locate and edit these scripts via the Navigator
view. Running them is as easy as editing the source, saving it, and
trying it out! Yay!
