Re: Elimination of PDM/SEU in favor of WDSC/RDI

I've only played a little with user options in WDSC. I still go to 
PDM and things like WRKSPLF when I want to work with multiple items. 
I know that Navigator is a horrible interface for making, say, a 
change to the OUTQ of multiple spooled files - if you pick a bunch to 
change, you are prompted singly - even Explorer handles this better - Sheesh!!!

In PDM and several 'Work with   ' panels, you put your option on all 
the items you want, then put the parameter on the command line and 
press enter - no prompting - all of them get that parameter. That is 
just amazing fast and efficient.

My question - how does WDSC handle multiple selected items, say like 
the thing I've described? If I pick several members to compile, can I 
put DBGVIEW(*ALL) anywhere and have it apply to all of them?

Thanks
Vern
