Re: Find not working, gives error message

Brian,

Thanks for the tip on searching. If I search the source file rather than the entire library, the speed is about the same as PDM. So that is what I'll do from now on.



Jim,

I can change the user library in the connection from QSYS to QGPL so that my searches work and I avoid the error message. But it does not remember my change so when I start RDI up, it reverts to QSYS. I know it is somewhere in my user profile, but I sure can't find it.
I go to remote system explorer, where I only have 1 connection to my IBM i and right click on library list. Here I can make QGPL my current library.
But I can't find out how to make this permanent.

If I look at my user profile, there is a place to put a library list, but it is blank. So that makes me think there is some other place to set the current library to QGPL.




Finally, if anyone knows how I can set RDI to send all printed output to a specific outq, that would be perfect. I know, I don't need them with RDI, but since I am going back and forth, they come in handy for me every so often. They are printing now, but the wrong outq.


Thanks,


---Dale

Try searching on the source file, rather than a list of members. You will
find searching the file is faster if the list of members contains more than
just a few members. Searching by file will, I think, bring the response
time down to the point where the convenience offered (click to open, return
to previous searches, etc.) will outweigh the longer search times.

RDP/WDSc creates this file, if it does not exist, for searches and compiles. Each member contains results of a compile or search. If this file is not multi-member capable, it can cause problems similar to what you were describing. As far as current library, that is set in the user profile initially, and can be changed when a connection is made to whatever you need it to be, along with the library list. I am not sure that RDI works completely the same way as RPD/WDSc, but my guess is that it does. If you right click on a connection and go into properties, you can see under the SUBSYSTEMS selection a tab named OBJECTS where you can specify the library list that the connection will use, including the current lib. You can also specify a command that runs at connection time. I use the CALL PGM(mystartup) command to set the library list for that connection. HTH Jim
