Re: RDI 9.5.0.2 Screen Designer sorts differently from SDA...

Buck

I could never seem to get use to the "eclipse" compare. I *ALWAYS* use the LPEX Source Compare, and that is AWESOME!!!

I brag about it all the time! It has save my bacon plenty of times!!! <Joy Joy>

PS. When comparing to vendor code, I can copy add lines of code to our customize version! And then quick do a "REFRESH" on the compare. And watch the "difference" disappear! AWESOME!!!

I guess I have a hard time following the "lines" with eclipse compare. Maybe I am so use to the LPEX compare, I have use it...

Buck,

I did copy source over to another source file to compare! But, I did it with Green-Screen...

Green-Screen Sort is very easy & Fast:
1.) put a 12 by all the screen formats in SDA. (Approx. 17 formats in this case)
2.) Put a Question Mark by a field & <enter> (Make SDA think you changed it)
3.) By on the screen design F4=Fields & F6=Sort.
4.) F12 to cancel to go to the next screen format.
<Repeat through all the DSPF record formats>

Fast & Quick!!!! <Joy Joy>

Sadly, I don't know how to quickly sort all the formats in RDi 9.5.0.2. <Frown>

If you know a quick way and easy way inside of RDI, please let me know...

Inside of the screen designer, I know that I can Right click on screen and select sort... But, I have to "change" a field, before it will sort...
<frown>

Maybe I am missing something. If I am, please let me know!

Thanks!

PS. Even after using RDI for 10-years, I am still stuck going back to Green Screen now and then... :(
