Re: Rép. : With PDM on the mind, a question about options and substitution variables

the answer is yes.

When using WRKLIBPDM, the command you want to change the curlib to the
one you are pointing to is:

CHGCURLIB &N

If you want to know what is available, enter PDM (any option), press
F16 to access custom command, F6 to create a new one then F1 to get to
the help. All subtitution variable (&something) are shown and
explained.

Actually the answer is no. Chuck wants ONE option that will use &O when using WRKLIBPDM and &L when using WRKOBJPDM or WRKMBRPDM.

You have addressed the former but not the latter. The only way I know how to do this is to write code for a user-defined option that uses &O and &L as appropriate but Chuck specifically said he didn't want to do that.

What PDM needs is built-in scripting. Rexx would be a good choice. Fat chance!
