Re: RDi Open a unique member type as a 'DSPF' in screen designer.

Bueller .... Bueller .... anyone?

- I have decided not to go this route (see below). Not having DSPF as a
member type causes undue issues in RDi and also SDA for green screen
developers. So I am going with a renaming scheme for affected display
files
to signify GUI modifications.

But I am curious as to whether it is possible to configure RDi for
non-canonical source member types. I could not get GDSPF to work as a
DSPF.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] RDi Open a unique member type as a 'DSPF' in screen
designer.

I am trying to create a new DSPF source member type to distinguish DSPFs
that have been modified for a GUI tool. The idea is that if someone goes
to
change a display file on the IBM I the member type of GDSPF will tell them
that there is a GUI component to this application and please take the
necessary steps to incorporate changes into the GUI tool.

I have a source member type for a display file that is GDSPF. It is a
display file and it has display file dds, but the member type happens to be
'GDSPF'.

In RDi I am trying to open the file in the screen designer, but the only
option I have been able to get it to open with is the LPEX editor.

I have done the following:

* Created a file type under Remote Systems called .gdspf
* Created a File association for .gdspf for editors: Screen
Designer
(default), and Remote systems LPEX Editor
* Created a Pasrer Association to have GDSPF parsed by the dds
parser

On the Remote Systems explorer when I right click on a .GDSPF member the
only 'Open With' option I get is 'LPEX Editor' - I do not see Screen
Designer.

When I edit the source code it does not parse the source as a DDS display
file. It does recognize that a '*' in column 7 is a comment, and that's
about it.

Are there more configuration options I need to set up to handle .gdspf as a
.dspf?

Is it possible to set up a new member type in RDi that get handled as a
DSPF?
