Re: Does WDSCi Have a shell for PASE?

I'm not sure what you get from a "Unix" view - but you have both available now.

One nice thing about the RSE IFS filters that you'll never get in QShell - they can be set with mulitple paths - so you could have a filter with /home/VERN/*.txt and /home/LARRY/*.csv and have that make up your list - that seems VERY cool!

I'm curious - how to write an RPG program to run in PASE? PASE is AIX = not possible to run RPG apps there. I don't even think you can have a sym link to an RPG, the way you can with QShell. Are you using some call from PASE to execute ILE exectuables? Because, natively, an iSeries app won't run IN PASE, that I know of.

Back to this in a minute - I've been able to set up the ArCad emulator - yes, it runs in a WDSC view - ideal, too, for testing all kinds of things. So you can use QP2TERM in a WDSC view.

Go to http://www.arcadsoftware.com/content/view/201/316/ - free download - also, look in the WDSC archives of this list and search for ArCad.

Hi Vern,

You don't necessarily need to use QShell to get at the IFS - there is and
"IFS Files" segment of the conneciton in RSE - you can even make filters
there, multiple paths are possible, and the files can be opened with any
WDSC editor that is appropriate, I think.

Yes, and that is good. It gives me a very good "Windows Explorer" view of
the IFS. But I'm greedy and want a "Unix" view too. :-)
I want to have the ability to write RPG programs to run in the PASE
environment and test/debug them within WDSCi. I can do it via QP2TERM and
would like to do it via a view in WDSCi.

Now you can have a terminal session - and with Arcad's plugin it can be
right there in WDSC - and then you can run STRRSESVR there and any
<http://archive.midrange.com/wdsci-l/200712/msg00003.html#> interactive
commands will use that session - then you can make object and member actions
in RSE that will give you what you want. Maybe!!! It IS going to a green
screen but completely within the confines of WDSC.

That sounds very interesting. I don't like the fact that I have to have a
linked interactive session to view the results of the DSP commands. It
smells of a fudge to me. But I wouldn't mind it if it was just a view within
WDSCi. That would be wonderful! Does this plugin allow us to get a 5250
session to run as a view within WDSCi? If that was possible then we could
test interactive programs within WDSCi. That would be as close to RPG
programming Nirvana as I could get!!!

Has anybody got something like this working???
