[WDSCI-L] member lock question

[phillip.groschwitz@xxxxxxxxx]

I'm using WDSC more and more, and just noticed this:  If I leave source
members open when I exit wdsc, they reopen when I restart wdsc (great!
makes it easy to remember what I was working on the day before.)  However,
what is opened is not actually what's on the iSeries disk and I don't know
that until I save - if it's different I get a dialog box.  Also, if a
source member has a lock on it already, I don't know that either until I
try to save.

Obviously I'm worried about losing changes.  So my question are:

Is this simply the way it works?

Is there a preference that can be set which will cause it to attempt to
open the member from the iSeries when WDSC starts?

Is there a strategy that I'm not seeing where this is actually an
advantage?

Thanks for the input!
