| |
| − |
| |
| − | WELL WDSCi is a really simple method to upload the source.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *Mark and copy the source you found on the net.
| |
| − | *In RSE use CRTL-Shift-A to open a source member into your favourite library/file. (Member will be created if it does not exist)
| |
| − | *Paste the source code and save it (CRTL-S is one way to save)
| |

| |
| − |
| |
| − | The outline view of the RPG (or other) program doesn't have any way to show the TEXT associated with the field in a file, but:-
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *You can easily open the Field Table View that does.
| |
| − | *This will open the iSeries Field Table View which gives all the field information.
| |
| − | #Right-click on the line with the F-spec
| |
| − | #Select the Show fields menu option.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *To show the properties of fields in files.
| |
| − | #Right click on a physical file object in RSE tree view
| |
| − | #and select show in table -> fields.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *If you are using 7.0, you are also able to bring up a Field Table View by highlighting any (PF, LF, DSPF, etc...) file in an RPG program's F-Specs then select Source->Show Fields from the Menu Bar.

| |
| − | Is there a way to list libs, objects, members, etc in the Remote Systems view with descriptions?
| |
| − | *The tree view doesn't support this - although if you look at the properties view - you will see the description when an item is selected in the tree view.
| |
| − | *You should probably try the table view. Window>Show View>Other (or iSeries Table View)

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Also, you can put the cursor on the square, press ESC (to move to the command line) and type "query hex". The "set hex 84" command will set the current cursor position to hex 84 (which turns on 'underline' for the SEU display).
| |

| |

| |

| |
| − | original post [http://archive.midrange.com/wdsci-l/200711/msg00213.html]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There are several programs that come with System i Access for Windows that can be interesting to use, but you can run other programs on your PC too. Those programs are {{code|wrksplf, wrkmsg, wrkprt and wrkusrj}} They are found in the System i Access program folder. On my default install, that is {{code|C:\Program Files\IBM\Client Access}} To register one of these programs in WDSC 7.0.0.x, take the following steps:
| |
| − | * Run (from the menu.)
| |
| − | * External Tools and then select (again) External Tools.
| |
| − | * Click on the Program config once to select it.
| |
| − | * Click on the New Launch Config icon on the far left (the one with the plus sign) at the top of the panel.
| |
| − | ** In the Main tab:
| |
| − | *** In the Name box I entered the name of the .exe (e.g. Wrksplf)
| |
| − | *** In 'Location' click 'browse file system' and drill to the exe in the IBM Client access folder and select the exe.
| |
| − | *** In 'Working Directory', copy & paste the path and strip off the final slash and the name of the .exe
| |
| − | ** In the Common tab:
| |
| − | *** In the middle, Display in favorites menu, select 'External Tools' and the new application will show up under {{code|Run->External tools}}
| |
| − | ** Click apply, then run to test. Close the app.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When you select {{code|Run->External Tools}} again it should appear at the top of the context menu. You can change the order they appear on the {{code|Run->External Tools}} context menu by using {{code|Run->External Tools->Organize favorites}}

| |
| − | *Currently I'm just stumbling through the basics, and I know I'm not doing many things the most productive way.
| |
| − | *I recommend that you try the tutorials included in the product as well as the PDM/SEU transition to RSE/LPEX - which was revamped and rewritten for v7.0.
| |
| − | *Also, if you go to the WDSC web site [http://www.ibm.com/software/awdtools/wdt400] and search the support section - you will find additional tutorials and the labs from COMMON.

| − | *Don Nitke has a site with a bunch of tutorials at [http://www.modernrpgiv.com/]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *Joe Pluta adds:
| |
| − | You can use the help and tutorials from within the product itself.
| |
| − | There are some free tutorials out on the web, including my own first one.
| |
| − | You can buy my book, WDSC: Step by Step, which is based on version 5.1.2, but still pretty valid.
| |
| − | You can buy my training course from Rochester Initiative which is now available for version 7.
| |
| − | *You can go to a jumpstart at a technical conference, or an all-day standalone seminar sponsored by your local user group.
| |
| − | *Or you can contract with someone to come onsite and provide training.
