Hi Charles
The i Projects store the member description text in metadata which
is also
stored in Git.
There is an .ibmi folder in the root directory of the project and in it
there is a folder for each SRCPF and in that folder there is a file
named
<member name>.properties for each member that has non-default properties
(i.e. a non-blank member description
It will contain a line
com.ibm.etools.iseries.projects.core\:textDescription=text
description for
COMPILE CL
If you are using Java we have an API to read this. If not, it is pretty
simple to parse.

Subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] New Git tutorial for QSYS members

Edmund,
We'd love to move from SVN to Git...
However, we've got a homegrown utility that transfers from the SVN
working
copy on our PC to the i. One thing it does is read the custom SVN
property, MEMBER_DESCRIPTION, for an object and updates the source
member
text.
Git doesn't support custom properties that we could find...
How do you deal with text for a source member which then becomes the
*PGM
object description text?
Is our only choice to add
ctl-opt text('My program description')
or the CL equivalent to every RPG/CL program?
Thanks!
Charles

I'm surprised more people haven't been using the object table to mimic PDM. The new "souped up" version is nice, but I've been using the old basic object table for years; never liked using RSE for browsing source.

Glad to hear that Charles. It is a lot faster than RSE to identify the
set of objects/members. If you ever find you are using the same filter,
you can name it and then it will appear in the RSE tree as well. This is
how I find it useful. I still use the RSE Tree view for what it is good
at (seeing multiple filters at the same time)
From: Charles Wilt
Ok Edmund...
Been giving the Object table a chance..
I like it, mostly for on the fly subsets I don't want to create a
permanent filter for.
Nice work!

This is a very powerful way to quickly create the filter you

can then save and load from RSE so it complements and adds to the

RSE.
Note that you can type in user actions in the option column
Also the Subset tab is blazing fast to quickly find things
