Re: Empty RSEXXXXX members...

Hi Jon,

Yes, up until the 8.0.3-ish time (going from memory here so I could be
wrong as things start to get fuzzy this late in the day) there was a
problem that would leave residue of the temp RSE* member in the cache so
the next time you start they would appear in the RSE view. Refreshing the
RSE view would resolve the problem. So asking you to refresh the RSE view
was more or less a test to see if the problem had come back somehow - I
don't think it possible but you never know...

An empty RSE* member in the IBM i file system would seem to indicate to me
that a save had been attempted and only got so far as creating the temp
file before the connection was lost to the IBM i thus indicating a dubious
connection. And can I point out that it didn't result in an empty source
member thanks to the two-phase save that is used now. Ain't those RDP
developers smart or what !

In my case they did exist. Refreshing didn't help. Simply empty

Same with me. I used to get this from time to time with 8.0 as well. It
appears to be related to comms breaking but I was never able to get a
handle on it and since I wasn't losing code ...

IBM perhaps creates these during a save - perhaps to avoid a comms failure
causing an existing member to only be partially overwritten? Somewhere in
the dark recesses of my mind I recall this being a problem back in the
WDSC days.

I just go in and delete them - they are always empty.
