The only complaint I have about the WDSC Iseries Search vs. PDM (and it
is a minor one) is that the wildcard specifications for the member seem
more limited.
For instance, given our source file naming conventions, I can search for
all finance applications by putting "FN*" in the member search criteria
field, or I can search for all CL programs by entering "*C". But I
can't search for all Finance CL's by entering "FN*C", whereas I can do
that in PDM.
But I definitely like seeing all my results in the window at one time
with their context. Much better than having to look through all of them
one at a time like FNDSTRPDM.

|A client/server function is going to be slower than one which is

|without context, and then use F16 to search through each file to see
the

|
|With the RDi search, you see all the occurrences in every member, in
|context, and can double-click on the ones you want to open the file to
|that source line. It's a somewhat different concept.
|
|You can also search across multiple libraries and files, but it's not
at
|5250 speed.
