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

Vern,

I don't use them often (iProjects), but with TurnOver, there is a widget to create an iProject for a TurnOver task. The nice thing about this (for me) is that I can capture all of my source changes in the iProject, then zip the iProject for long term storage. I don't do this for everything, but there always seem to be certain apps that require some CYA documentation, if you get my meaning...

In the TurnOver context, the iProject is associated with the *DEV level library defined to the task. Typically this is defined as *PGMR, which in turn associates to the library defined in the Programmer User profile in TurnOver. When you have source checked out, residing in your *DEV library, make your changes, then refresh the source in iProject to capture the revision.

Thanks, Jon

Since we use Turnover, I don't use projects - source can be edited off
line, so far as I remember. And organization of objects is related to
tasks and can include stuff from different libraries.

But it's good to hear the good side of projects! The 1 to 1 thing put me
off greatly from the start.

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.

You do need a connection associated Vern - but that doesn't make projects useless. Admittedly the 1 library 1 project is more than annoying but ...

I use them quite a bit partly because it is a convenient way of grouping the required files for a specific project but also because I can edit and verify while not connected.
