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

If you're looking at a list of objects or members in PDM with WROOBJPDM/WRKMBRPDM, you can create an option that will do "CHGCURLIB &O". This will change your current library to the library the object/member is in.

That addresses the second part of Chuck's request but does not handle the first part. Chuck wants ONE option that will use &O when using WRKLIBPDM and &L when using WRKOBJPDM or WRKMBRPDM.

You have addressed the latter but not the former. 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 scripting. Rexx would be a good choice. Fat chance!
