| − | *To edit the same member, the method most analogous to the SEU F15 browse is Ctrl-2 to split view,
| + | [[#top]] |
| − | click on subroutine name in Outline View to position the new view to the subroutine,
| |
| − | do whatever,
| |
| − | Ctrl-0 to close the second view.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Note that new views opened this way can all allow editing, and you can have up to 5 views open on a single member, not just 2 as in SEU.
| + | ==[[/DEBUG]]== |
| | | | |
| − | *To edit/browse a different member, Ctrl-Shift-a (or open using any other method). Then drag the member name tab down or to the right until it turns into an arrow and release. This splits the screen (top/bottom or left right) for editing/browse. Does not work when in maximized mode. | + | * [[WDSC tips/DEBUG#Debug and SEP Service Entry Points|Debug and SEP Service Entry Points]] |

| − | *A fourth way is to set a named mark and return to it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *A fifth way (but the Outline View is easier) is to filter the source by the subroutine name
| |
| − | (either Ctrl-F, enter name, click All, or right click, Selected, Filter selected,
| |
| − | which can also be set up as a key combo if you like),
| |
| − | put the cursor on the Exsr or Begsr as you choose, and then Ctrl-W.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: If you have 6.0.0.1, you're too far behind - I believe you need 6.0.1.0 or higher to be able to open multiple views on the same member.

| |
| − | original post [http://archive.midrange.com/wdsci-l/200706/msg00409.html]
| |
| − | | |
| − | 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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *There is no way to currently do this. It is on IBM's list of requirements.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Automatic cursor positioning can be configured by choosing 'Preferences' from the 'Window' menu. In version 7, you are looking for <code>Remote Systems -> Remote Systems LPEX Editor -> iSeries Parsers -> ILE RPG</code>

| |
| − | | |
| − | Standard windows copy/paste keys can be used, along with a few extras provided in LPEX (check the Edit menu for selection options)
| |
| − | | |
| − | 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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Another method not mentioned yet is to
| |
| − | *mark the lines to copy using Alt-L,
| |
| − | *then copy them into position using Alt-C.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The lines will be inserted beginning with the line after your cursor position. You should also explore the other Select/Selected functions, which are listed under the Edit menu with their [[WDSC_shortcuts|keyboard shortcuts]].

| − | | |
| − | *I added a table to the Table View, I can see all my fields, but can't copy and paste from there.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Drag and drop from table view to RS LPEX is currently not available. | |
| − | *You can always open the DDS source and copy the names from there.
| |
| − | *Be sure to have a look at the [[WDSC tips#How do I shift a block of text left/right?|rectangle select]] - it may come in handy for this (alt-r, alt-c.)

| |
| − | | |
| − | *Or at least jump the cursor to the top or bottom of the displayed view, then I could roll by line up or down.
| |
| − | *Keys can be easily remapped to do other things - check the mailing list archives for discussions on this at length.
| |
| − | *You'll also want to read the reference help for what LPEX actions are available/do (scrollTop, scrollUp come to mind)

| − | *I use the alt page up and down keys,
| |
| − | *I also have alt + T set to put the current line at the top of the editor window.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Ctrl+T (v7) will put the line where the cursor is at the top of the screen.

| |
| − | | |
| − | In SEU, when I hit <enter>, I know it has been saved, even if I lose my session.
| |
| − | *Remote Systems LPEX Editor has an auto-save feature.
| |
| − | *Default is set to every 5 minutes.
| |
| − | *Check out Windows>Preferences, Remote Systems>Remote Systems LPEX Editor | |

| − | ref [[User:Starbuck5250|Starbuck5250]], 5 November 2007 (CST)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Select the block of text by putting the cursor on the upper left corner of the block.
| |
| − | Press Alt-R.
| |
| − | Move the cursor to the lower left corner.
| |
| − | Press Alt-R again.
| |
| − | Do '''NOT''' use Windows copy/paste (ctrl-c/x/v)
| |
| − | You now have a block of text selected.
| |
| − | *An alternate way to select is | |
| − | Alt-L (line)
| |
| − | and then hold down the Shift key while using the cursor keys to continue highlighting lines.
| |
| − | *You can also Alt-L on the first and last lines of the block.
| |
| − | | |
| − | You can shift it left/right with alt-f7/alt-f8 If you remap the keys, the action is ''blockShiftLeft'' and ''blockShiftRight''
| |
| − | *You can shift it via the menu Edit, Selected>Shift selection
| |
| − | *You can uppercase or lowercase it with alt-k/alt-i or via the menu
| |
| − | *You can move it: position the cursor where you want the upper left corner to end up and press alt-m or use the menu
| |
| − | *You can copy it with alt-c
| |
| − | *You can delete it with alt-d
| |
| − | | |
| − | Remember that Alt-U de-selects the block.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Note the following will shift the entire line of code, not just a section or block.
| |
| − | You can use SEU mode line commands LL and RR typed over the sequence number area.
| |

| |
| − | original post [http://archive.midrange.com/wdsci-l/200602/msg00196.html]
| |
| − | | |
| − | * First turn off Batch compiles (see compile [[WDSC tips#Within RSE, how to compile Interactively versus Batch|Interactively]] tip) | |
| − | * Next select Compile(Prompt) to see the compile Parms
| |
| − | * Select CRTSQLRPGI
| |
| − | * Click All Parameters checkbox.
| |
| − | * Set the 'To source file parm to QSQLSRC in 'your lib' NOT QTEMP.
| |
| − | The compile will retreive the EVENTS file and show messages in the Iseries Error list View.
| |
| − | | |
| − | You can click on the error and the source will be displayed with the cursor positioned on the error, but be careful as to what source member is in the 'Location' column of the Iseries Error List view.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If the QSQLSRC member is listed you need to open the 'real' source to the same position to do the appropriate correction.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ctrl-L lets you jump directly to a given line, or you can type the line number in the Editor command line and you go directly to the line.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Should you find Compile(Prompt) to be a pain, you could customise the compile command.
| |
| − | *In Table View, Right Click a Source,Click Compile , Click Work with Compile commands
| |
| − | *Select CRTSQLRPGI and Click Edit
| |
| − | *Add TOSRCFILE(&L/QSQLSRC) to the command, this saves you setting this parm all the time.

| |
| − | | |
| − | *In order to have WDSC automatically bring up the compile error list when you are using custom compile commands,
| |
| − | *add <code> OPTION(*EVENTF) SRCMBR(&N) </code> to the end of your compile command. This tells WDSC that the command being executed is a compile command. ref: [http://archive.midrange.com/wdsci-l/200712/msg00091.html]
| |
| − | | |
| − | How to get the error list back into WDSC
| |
| − | *Make sure that you are setting a *CURLIB. This is very important, because that's how the UI finds the EVFEVENT file generated by the compiler.
| |
| − | [http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=3239&context=SSZND2&dc=DB520&dc=D600&dc=DB530&dc=D700&dc=DB500&dc=DB540&dc=DB510&dc=DB550&q1=compile&uid=swg21231854&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en Technote 1231854] from ibm.com describes the official IBM help on the subject.

| − | Nazmin adds this: [http://archive.midrange.com/wdsci-l/200712/msg00111.html]
| |
| − | *If you are running your compile commands from CL, the Error List View is not automatically opened to populate the errors.
| |
| − | *However, if you specified an option to generate the events file, say for OPM compiler OPTION(*LSTDBG) or OPTION(*SRCDBG), an event file containing the errors is generated.
| |
| − | *You can manually open this events file in the Error List view and proceed normally.
| |
| − | *To locate the events file, look in the target library for the compile command for data file EVFEVENT.
| |
| − | *If you expand this file, you will see all the events files, with the same name as the source member and type mbr. Right click on this, choose the option to Show in Error List.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Andrew adds this: [http://archive.midrange.com/wdsci-l/200712/msg00115.html]
| |
| − | *You can code your own Compiler command, which can then be used to determine which command to run, based on the source member type (you have to write your own code here to retrieve the source type).
| |
| − | *That will then run the command in question, i.e. CRTSQLCBL, CRTCICSCBL, etc.
| |
| − | *Your own command has to have a parameter called OPTION, that will accept *EVENTF or *NOEVENTF. The parameter doesn't have to do anything, but it needs to be there.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *When OPTION(*EVENTF) is specified, WDSC will look in the first 20 bytes of the *LDA. This must contain the library and member for the compiled source, so your compiler front end needs to ensure that the *LDA is correctly populated.
| |
| − | *Assuming that the *LDA is correct and that your IBM supplied compiler command (called by your front end) has been called with OPTION(*EVENTF) - WDSC will then automatically retrieve the correct event file and switch to that tab in the table view.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Depending on your settings, this will also insert the error messages into the source member in the Editor.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *I spent a fair amount of time going through this, and found the following article invaluable when creating our internal version for WDSC.
