Re: [WDSCI-L] Open IBM i Member Shortcut for DDS Design

Duane,

I change my preference to open in the DDS Designer...

Windows>Preferences>General>Editors>File associations

"*.DSPF" I have my mine as "Screen Designer (default)"

The only thing I miss, is that I cannot use the Record/Play-back in
the source view from the DDS "Source-Tab", other than that, it is
pretty much like the LPEX editor in the "source-tab".

-Ken Killian-

That opens it in the Screen Designer, but Duane is talking about switching
perspectives to the DDS Design Perspective. I used to use that
perspective, but have since abandoned it as I didn't find that it really
added anything to my productivity. I just set up my normal editing
perspective in a way that works for all IBM i source types.

I'm not finding a shortcut for opening an IBM i member for DDS
Design. The shortcut CTRL/SHIFT/A or CTRL/ALT/M opens a source
member for edit, but switching perspectives to DDS Design after the
fact doesn't quite do the trick.

Am I not seeing it?

I don't think so. You might be able to open a PMR/SR--the preference
reads: "Open the associated perspective when the editor opens". Since it
sounds like that is not happening.
