Starting Eclipse Editor from PDM

With the iSphere 5250 emulator you can start an Eclipse editor from PDM with a user-defined option.

PDM User options

Start PDM (Command STRPDM) and select option 9 to work with the user-defined options. Then press F6 to add a new option. The following example uses "EE" (Eclipse Editor) to start an Eclipse editor:

Option		Command
EE		CALL PGM(ISPHERE/HANDLER) PARM('EDITOR' '&L' '&F' '&N' '*OPEN')

Replace *OPEN with *BROWSE to open the editor in browse mode:

Option		Command
EB		CALL PGM(ISPHERE/HANDLER) PARM('EDITOR' '&L' '&F' '&N' '*BROWSE')

Now you can use EE or EB next to a source member to start an Eclipse editor from an iSphere 5250 session for the selected member.
