I use a user action for this. Set up a member User Action, deselecting the "prompt first" option, using the following (without quotes) as the command: "CPYSRCF FROMFILE(&L/&F) TOFILE(TESTSRC/&F) FROMMBR(&N) MBROPT(*ADD)"
As long as you check the "command log" view after you use the user action, you will see if the copy was successful, and this also allows multiple source members in different source files to all be copied to the equivalent file in a single library (TESTSRC in my example) at the same time.

Hi, Vernon. Unfortunately I'm unable to submit an RFE.
Yes, I've tried dragging/dropping, right button Copy/Paste, using RSE with/without the Table View. All work the same. It would be nice to have a checkbox in the prompt window, "prompt for all selected" which could be unticked to avoid subsequent prompts. (Just a "nice to have" to match the functionality of PDM.)
Copying source between different systems - or to/from the client - does _not_ invoke prompting. Perhaps one solution is to create a User Action for CPYSRCF?
Thx for responding - I wondered if I'd missed something.
Brian.

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

Folks, a simple “how to” problem I cannot resolve. Suppose I have
several source members I wish to copy from one source file to another.
In PDM I would use Option 3). In RSE I can use Copy/Paste. However, in
RSE I am also prompted with the CPYSRCF command for each member to copy.
Is there a way to avoid the prompting in RDi/RSE? Is there a
Preference somewhere? It can get mighty annoying when copying several
members. (OTOH, I guess PDM Option 3. is more efficient because the
members are not being downloaded/uploaded to/from the client.)
Thx in advance.
