Re: Compare and merge

Thanks a lot ! Never thought I'd say this : EAT THAT WDSc !

I was trying to find my modifs in WDSc with source,Filter view, Date...
Navigated to the first modification, pressed Ctrl W. Now how to get the next ligne with the same date ?! I had to repeat the source, filter etc step! Gave up and did it with SEU split screen ! You can search one date in the top member and another in the bottom member as well. I will remember MRGSRC the next time.

Hi David

May I suggest using option 55 in PDM - yes - PDM! You get a split SEU screen where YOU decide what gets merged. Nothing in WDSC or anywhere else gives you that ability that I know of.
