Re: Outline view (Englander, Douglas)

Hello:

Don't know if this will help but I recently installed version 7.0.0 on a new
PC.

After the install, I found that when I opened a source member via the
iSeries Table view, the empty Outline view would not refresh.

If I loaded the source member from the Remote System view, the Outline view
could be refreshed.

Drove me crazy for a while....

subject: [WDSCI-L] Outline view


I have experienced this multiple times. I refresh the OUTLINE view. I go
into FILES and click on an externally defined printer file. There are record
formats in the printer file that do not show up on the OUTLINE view. To make
matters worse, there are printer file record formats that are used in the
program that do not show up in the outline view!!!

I am forced now, to go back to the FIND [ctrl + f] to locate all the
references to printer file formats. This is RIDICULOUS!!! I might as well
just go back to PDM!!!!!! And this is particularly a pain because WDSC does
not even show all the record formats in the file!!! So, I now have to open
ANOTHER WDSC window for the printer file source, manually locate each record
definition, and then scan the RPG for that definition to see where it is
used!!!!!!!

I am on WDSC version 7.0.0, build ID# 20070202_0030

This "problem" also occurs with things other than externally defined printer
files. It happens with fields too.

Why is WDSC written this way? It is ridiculous in my view point. This
problem seems to have occurred on the prior release of WDSC also that I was
using.

Anyone have any ideas how to resolve this????

Thank you,

Doug
