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.

I see what you mean. You are using a compare tool that doesn't come with
WDSC by default (because WDSC only provides the "Compare To Each Other"
option, I think.) But both the Softlanding extensions' compare and the
iSphere compare prevent a PF38* attributed file from showing up when you
use the prompt screen to browse for the file in a library. Perhaps Frank
Hildebrandt (iSphere) and/or Doug Davie (Softlanding) can let us know what
causes this restriction?

I have found a workaround, though. If you already know the name of the
PF38 file, you can just type that in and the browse for members in the
compare prompt screens will still work fine. The normal
library/object/member filters in the Remote System Explorer (RSE) view do
show the PF38 files when you are looking in a library or a set of file
objects, so maybe you could get the relevant name from there.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Compare Source Member Tool

Folks,



First, I'm using WDSC 7.0.0.8 as my primary editor. I've run into a
situation using the 'compare to file' option where the compare-to file (and
hence member) doesn't show in the picking list.



After doing some checking, the only reason that I can come up with why the
file does not show in the list is that ALL files in the list have either a
'*file.pf-src' or '*file.pf-dta' attribute. The missing source file,
QRPGSRC, has an attribute of '*file.pf38-src' so I assume this is why it
doesn't show up.



I've had no luck checking through the Window=>Preferences options. Anyone
know how can I get the picking list to include it?
