Jerry and Dave,
I was about to respond with details about how I was attempting searches
in WDSC, and as I was going through an example search to tell you about,
(shock!) the damned thing worked in fine fashion. I may never go to PDM
again! I love it when I have no gripes!
As for upgrading to RDi/RDP, I suspect that we'll probably use WDSC on
IBM i 6.1 for the near-term anyway. Has anyone heard of a Trial copy of
RDP that IBM would like to tease me with, so I can prove to management
that it's worth the big bucks?

Michael,
I use search in WDSc frequently and have never had a problem so I can't
give you any suggestions regarding settings or such.
I will say that what I like about WDSc's search vs PDM's is the ability
to perform one massive search over multiple source files in multiple
libraries with one invocation and, then, to go right to the member for
viewing or editing.

Thanks for that, Dave. The one feature I still fall back to PDM for is
string-search through our source members. I've not found anything
acceptable in WDSC here - it just dies trying. I suspect that has been
resolved in RDi/RDP? If indeed that is no longer an issue, I could do
w/o ADTS.
Prior to my original post, I reviewed the discussion on the archives
from last August (Subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] justifying RDi when WDSCi
'still works'), and wondered if the sentiments have changed, or if new
justifications for upgrade have become obvious.

WDSCi 7.0 runs against 6.1 just as well as it runs against V5R4. I
haven't used any of the 6.1 compiler enhancements, so I'm not quite sure
what to expect there. I know it won't prompt them, just not sure what
the verifiers and syntax checkers will make of them.
I don't know how your ADTS entitlements compare to your actual
requirements, but that's also something your management needs to look
at. Maybe if you have extra ADTS licenses, you can reduce your RDP
costs through the upgrade option, if that's available to you. I tried
to work that angle, but it didn't pan out here.

Word from system admin is that we will soon be on i 6.1. I am using
WDSC V 7.0.0.8 (7.0.0.20090225_1508) and I have concerns that our WDSC
development environment may soon need to go RDi/RDP. I understand
that
WDSC does not "grow" with post-v5r4 advances to RPG.
First question: How successful is running WDSC in the IBM i 6.1
environment?
