Re: Paste Overlay

Agreed... this is a fantastic tip.
In fact, it should coded as a regular key sequence.

Thank you for this tip - it is one of the best I've seen. I paste code from iSeries Navigator all the time and really dislike the way it left adjusts all but the first line and the error messages for each, and then having to do a block move. I set up a user key action as you suggested and it pasted my SQL in perfectly, right where I wanted it. Thanks!

Is there an EASY way to copy text and "paste-overlay" in a RPGLE
source member?

I do paste-overlay all the time -- from clipboard, even. Alt-Z is only for those situations where you have a block currently marked (still
highlighted) by having used Alt-R at top-left and bottom-right corners of the block. To paste-overlay from the clipboard, I set up my own shortcut key sequence using Alt-P. The action is "pasteOverlay".


Sincerely,
