I read your email again (sorry).  If I right click on a *.c file I have
the option to code edit, also *.rpg, *.rpgle, even *.bs. and *.crud.

Yikes, Rob! RPG? This must be V5R2. I knew it could be
done with C/C++, and that makes some sense to me. IBM
still hasn't provided enough tools to manage this as
well as using source physicals, IMO. I see no benefit to
putting RPG there - how do you edit the source, PDM
won't touch it, unless there's a V5R2 improvement. WDSC
(SP2) treats it differently than source physicals, too.
I just saw today that a .c source file did not have the
Open with CODE option when right-clicking it in the IFS
subsystem. If it were in a physical with member type C,
the CODE option would've been there.

But putting source in IFS can help with change
management apps, like cvs, say, as well as look more
familiar to non-400 developers. Just map the drive and
use CodeWright, TextPad, ez, or whatever.

I just feel IBM has made some sweeping, even good,
changes, but hasn't covered all the needs yet.

Thanks
