Re: Can I filter the library list in a RSE Member Filter?

Hi Paul

I tried a couple things - you might try setting the file value to Q*SRC or some other generic name.

I might also recommend adding entries in the filter for each library in use - I know, but *USRLIBL feels like too inclusive - I say that without knowing enough about your environment.

The Q*SRC idea assumes you are using IBM's recommended names.

You CAN specify a library and source file for the SQL compiles to use instead of the default in QTEMP.

I don't think you have much help with the EVF* files - they are needed to get the stuff that displays after compilation.

Just some ideas -maybe they'll stir up others.

Hi,

I create member filters in RDi (v9.5.1) to list the source members I am
working on for a project. I often use the *USRLIBL option in the library
part of each filter string.

When I compile SQLRPGLE source, additional members are created in QTEMP
with the same name as the source member I'm working with (SRCFs QSQLTEMP1
and QSQLPRE), so if I right-click one of those in my member filter
unexpected results can come up (compile/compare wrong source, etc.)

Additionally, when compiling any RPGLE program, the compiler puts a source
member in the EVFTEMPF01 file in the "object" library, which also shows up
in a member filter using *USRLIBL (or *LIBL). This EVFTEMP01 member then
causes similar problems to the above if I misclick or don't pay enough
attention.

Can I filter out all source files in QTEMP and the EVFTEMPF01 source file
from anywhere in the library list if my filter string contains *LIBL,
*USRLIBL, *ALL or *ALLUSR? I want to do that at a member filter string
level (with the default controlled by a RDi preference.)

Can I relocate those QTEMP source files, and/or that EVFTEMPF01 source file
when compiling?

I'll raise an RFE if I have to, but can anyone suggest anything to help?
Removing the object library from the library list won't work for me, and
specifying things other than *USRLIBL will mean I need to take a lot more
time to create a set of filter strings each with a specific library name.
