Re: CODE Designer and Library Lists

[jstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Michael,

I have much the same issue with CODE Designer, although we don't get a 
message of some source dropped due to errors, but our fields that are in 
REF files, are shown with just the first byte and a box around it.  One 
way that I get around it is this...

> From RSE - Right click on DSPF source member
Open with CODE Designer
Do an F9 (Shell)
ADDLIBL REFLIBNAM
Close the CODE Designer window that has the DSPF open, and re-open it.
Then it finds the REFFLD file in the *LIBL

Sure wish there was a better way.  Actually - I hope that the WDSC team 
will get us to be able to design DSPF's in the WDSC Page Designer - that 
would be the best, then we can just drop CODE altogether.

Hope that helps.

[WDSCI-L] CODE Designer and Library Lists






I've attempted to address this issue previously, but I can't find any 
responses in the archives.

We use multiple connections in RSE in large part to establish different 
library lists for various systems (i.e., Payroll, Order Entry, etc. -- not 

OS/400 servers).  When we right-click a DSPF or PRTF and open with CODE 
Designer, we regularly receive the error message to the effect "Some 
source dropped due to errors."  The errors always deal with files or 
fields specified on REF or REFFLD cannot be found.  The fields are in the 
library list in RSE by way of a command on the iSeries commands tab of the 

Subsystems page in the connection properties.  (There's got to be an 
easier way to describe that!)

The only workaround I've found which consistently works is to have each 
developer create a copy of the field reference files in their current 
libraries.  This works, but it's a real pain having multiple copies of the 

file around.  The project is in development and with multiple developers, 
making sure everyone has the most current copy the field reference file 
can be like trying to shoot at a target. moving at twice the speed of 
sound.

Does anybody have a better solution?
