Hi Greg,
I uploaded iSphere 5.2.7.b001, which has the new ignore error switch.
From my point of view there is no risk installing that version, because the only thing that was changed is the new switch.
Thomas.

Hi Greg,
It is correct, that " Copy members to... " copies the member on the host and not the one you are editing in RDi. So that makes it possible to copy the member while you edit it.
I think I will add a check box to ignore the "Member is open in editor and has unsaved changes." error.
Thomas.

Thomas,
I guess I assumed the Copy members to... was copying the file member on the host. Our source code is in Source PF members.
If that's not the case, I could see where this would be a problem.
But if I were editing a source member in SEU on one 5250 session, then used SEU to copy the member in another session, I would copy the un-saved version.
My "change management" consists of creating a backup member:
MYPGM
MYPBM.B4 - before my changes

Hi Greg,
This message comes from the iSphere plug-in. I assume that you have updated not only RDi, but also iSphere.
I changed the behavior of the "Copy Members to" dialog with iSphere 4.2.5 (January 2022):
Changelog: iSphere 4.2.5.b003
-----------------------------
• Fixed problem that the record length of the target source file was
not always checked, when copying members. Not check, when the
target member existed.
• Changed the "Copy Members to..." option to disallow copying dirty
files at all.
So what can we do? I probably could add another ignore errors option next to the "Ignore data lost error".
What do you guys (not only Greg) think?
Thomas.

Betreff: [WDSCI-L] Copy Members to...
I recently updated RDi... now for whatever reason it won't copy a member if I have the member open with unsaved changes.
"Member is open in editor and has unsaved changes."
"Validation ended with errors. Request canceled."
WTH?
I want to save a copy BEFORE I save the changes... so now I have to do so in SEU?
