Re: how to save local file on IBM i source file

Susan Gartner just posted an article on this very topic.

I am new to projects myself and don't use them much. But recently had to do some work that way.
When I am connected locally to the server there is no need to user projects.
Projects are good if you are going to be working off-line. You can download the code that you will be working on. Go off to Hawaii and when you return, push your changes up.
(Why one would be working on code while in Hawaii? I don't know :)

Paul, as I am one who has looked at but never used projects, is there a need to create a connection in RSE for projects, as the other reply suggested? If so, I don't see a benefit to projects, since a save can be done very nicely there with Ctrl-S, for one.

I didn't see that Dale is using projects, but that might be because I've never used them, so the words did not suggest that.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] how to save local file on IBM i source file

I am still trying to find my way around RDI.

This time I created a new program from scratch in RDI/lpex. But it is only on my pc local folders. I cannot figure out how to save it to the source file in my library on the IBM i.

When I click save as, my only choices are local. None of the connections, libraries, objects, etc, under remote system explorer are visible in the save as dialog box.

I tried to drag and drop from remote system explorer, and it looked like it was going to move/copy it, but it remains in local.


I don't recall how I created it, but I sure as heck can't put it where
I want it.


Any help would be appreciated.
