Re: RDI to RDP

Hi Joe,

I wanted to say thanks for responding and I'll definitely check this out. It's on my to-do list which I will get to, but haven't been able to yet (was hoping to respond with results).

Thanks,
Kurt

I still use PDM to compile. I'm constantly changing job descriptions for compiling and I admit I don't know how to do that in WDSCi (and hopefully the answer is as easy as its done in PDM).

Yup. Right click on the source member in RSE and select Compile
(Prompt). Up will come a complete analog to the F4 prompt of PDM.

And since I'm compiling in PDM, if I have an error, I usually jump into SEU, bring up the spool file, and search on *ERR. Although this doesn't happen too often as I generally use WDSCi's Verify.

And if you use Verify you know just how cool WDSC's error list is. I
love how it makes a task list for you and as you fix lines of code it
tags the errors as changed. It of course doesn't know whether you've
actually fixed them, but at least you know if there are errors you
haven't even addressed.

We are a small shop and don't have a CSM, but we have an in-house utility we use to archive source, and we do all of that through PDM's user-defined options. If I could duplicate that sort of function to come up when I right-click a source in a filter, that'd be beautiful.

Yup. You can add any PDM commands to the right-click context menu. The
RSE version is even nicer - longer command names and better filtering
(options can be limited for example to specific member types).

Ultimately, I would survive if SEU/PDM was taken away from me... I guess it would force me to find out how I can do what I need to in RDi.

Yup. That's why I designed classes and coursework called WDSC for RPG
programmers. You can be walked through the PDM and SEU analogs of WDSC
in a day.
