Re: Copying source with RDi

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting situation, Brian - reminds me how things in Ops Nav "worked" 
when changing spooled files.

I think this is a nice candidate for submitting an RFE - the design 
point seems to be something like each source member might go to 
different source files. This IS possible in RSE, since you CAN select 
members from different source files, then take the Copy option.

But if they are all from the same source file, maybe there should be no 
need to prompt for each - or prompt only for the destination.

Have you tried dragging and dropping - I think that can be done, even 
between systems. If that is true, are you still prompted? Just curious 
early in the morning!

Cheers
Vern
