Re: Providing Work Arounds for PDM/SEU

To add what Edmund said, you can do a search and replace across multiple
members. It seems a bit convoluted but once you perform the set ups
subsequent search/replaces are faster to do.

1. You open all those member you did a search on (RDp opens a copy in a
temp folder) you can then open the search again (Ctrl-H) and select the
"File Search" (if you do not see that tab then you can add it by
clicking on the "Customize" button.

2. Now that "File Search" tab is visible, choose the "Working Set" Radio
Button then click on the "Choose" button to define a working set
definition. Create a new working set over a "Resource" then find
"RemoteSystemsTempFiles" and expand to find your developer library (or
the library where the opened members would have resided on the server).
All this is done to create a definition which can be used over and over
again. Make certain this working set is selected and go back to the
search window. \

3. Now you can search all those temp members for a string (including
regular expression patterns ).

4. Make certain you limit the search to the appropriate member type.

5. Now click on the replace button. The search tool will process first
and then present you with another window which you can then specify the
value to replace the search pattern (including a replacement regular
expression pattern). (Use Ctrl-Space in the search and replace inputs
to see what you can do with regular expression turned on).

6. You can preview ALL the matches that will be replaced and unselected
those that you wish not to modify. This is a great way to modify code
across many members in the blink of the eye.

7. The only thing left to do is save and compile all the modified
members, RDp will mark each changed member with the changed decorator
(asterisk).

Thanks, Matt

Douglas,
I think people have pointed you to the standard mappings.
But as for your customer search utility.
RDp has a good search utility build into it.
Go to Seach->IBMi - you can specify the search string,
library/file/member
wildcards and even the column range. You will be presented with a list
of
members in a view that you can, at your leisure, edit or browse.
To search my entire development machine, I specify * for the library,
and
file and member and I am searching for a string on the entire box. Not
necessarily fast, but of course, the more info you give the faster it
will
be.

I hope this helps show how you can be even more productive on RDp.

Booth,

Oh, he has a list things like how to replace his User Defined options
which
he has linked to programs he wrote. Also how to integrate WDSc/RDp into
a
utility he wrote that will locate any/all source on our development box.
Currently it links to SEU display (option 5), SEU edit (option 2), it
can
retrieve a source from any of our production machines, etc. Then how do
you...

I guress what I'm looking for is any standard list that someone has come
up
with that shows this is what I do in PDM/SEU and this is how to do it in
WDSc/RDp.

The list of things you can not do directly and exactly the same is
pretty short, in my opinion.

The only one that is not a direct same-same is block copy & pasting.

There may be others. What, specifically, are you thinking of?

Group,

Sorry for any confusion. What I'm trying to do is address issues
that
a
developer has of things he can do in PDM/SEU and does not know how
to
do
in
WDSc/RDp. I was wondering if anyone had developed a list of these,
i.e.
in
PDM/SEU you do this and to do that same thing in WDSc/RDp you do
this.

What do you mean by 'work arounds'? That sounds like there are
issues
with
RDP you are trying to overcome. If so, post the issues and I'm
sure
someone can help you.

If you want to know how to navigate around the editor the PDM
commands
still work. Just enter them in the sequence number area the same
way
you
would in PDM. As Brian mentioned there are some good shortcuts
unique
to
RDP too.

Group,

Still working on providing work arounds for a developer that wants
to
go
to
WDSc/RDp. Has anyone compiled a list of alternatives or
equivalents
to
PDM/SEU that would be willing to share?
