Re: Compare Source Member Tool

[Doug Davie <dougdavie@xxxxxxxxx>]

The RSE Extensions plugin prompts for a Library/File(member) by using an
IBM supplied widget:
com.ibm.etools.iseries.rse.ui.widgets.QSYSMemberPrompt

When constructing this object we provide to it the valid types to be shown:
com.ibm.etools.iseries.rse.ui.widgets.IQSYSFilePromptTypes

The type we use is FILETYPE_SRC.

I do not see any filetypes available specifically for 38 source.
The doc does not specifically say one way or the other if 38 source is
included, so based on your findings it probably isn't included.

The dialog does, however, allow you to type in the name if you already know
it as Paul has pointed out.
