1. Is there a way to list libs, objects, members, etc in the Remote
Systems
view with descriptions?
Not that I know of, but you can use the iSeries Table View. It works very
much like PDM.
3. In SEU, when I hit <enter>, I know it has been saved, even if I
loose my
session. Do I have to continually save my work?
WDSC has an autosave feature (at least at version 7). We had a power
outage on Tuesday, and my office mate was able to recover almost all of
his changes since he had last saved. That said, I try to save "early and
often", just to be safe.
4. In SEU, when I hit enter, the editor will automatically position my
cursor to where I need to key additional data? I know tab moves me to
the
next input position, but not whether it requires input. And by the time
auto syntax checking informs me, I have spent time reading the message,
relocating my cursor, etc.
I'm not sure what you mean about the SEU part (I've used SEU, but never
became truly comfortable before moving to WDSC). Automatic cursor
positioning can be configured by choosing 'Preferences' from the 'Window'
menu. In version 7, you are looking for 'Remote Systems -> Remote
Systems LPEX Editor -> iSeries Parsers -> ILE RPG'. <whew>
5. Do I have to use the mouse to copy lines from one member to another?
Nope. To copy X lines, put your cursor is on the first line of the block
you want to move, press Home, then hold Shift and press the down arrow X
times. Now press Ctrl+C, then Shift+F6 (this is like Alt-Tab in windows,
but for LPEX editor tabs) until you get to the target member. Now find
the line you want to insert at, and press Ctrl+V.
6. How can I copy field names in to the member? I added a table to
the
Table View, I can see all my fields, but can't copy and paste from
there.
I'm interested to know how you do this in SEU ... the quickest way I can
think of in WDSC would be to block copy them from the DDS source.
7. After compiling, getting errors, and fixing them, and recompiling
successfully, the error messages are still showing in the edit view. How
can I get rid of them with out closing the member?
Click the X icon in the top left part of the iSeries Error List view.
Believe it or not, I had a lot more questions, but figured many of them
out.
Which brings up my last question (for now:). How do you work through
learning the functionality of this application? Currently I'm just
stumbling through the basics, and I know I'm not doing many things the
most
productive way.
Don Nitke has a site with a bunch of tutorials. I don't have the link,
but if you search the archives it has been mentioned a bunch of times
(

Hope this helps,
