Before you begin
You can use a selection of editors for your objects and files listed
in the Remote Systems view. You can edit
IBM® i members
using the Remote Systems LPEX editor and Remote Systems LPEX browser. (You
can also use the CODE editor and CODE browser if the CODE tools are installed.)
When editing local files, IFS files, or files from other remote systems such
as Linux, UNIX or Windows systems,
you can choose from all editors registered in the workbench for the type of
file you want to open.
Note: You can switch between files you have open in
the editor view by pressing CTRL+F6.
About this task
To use different editors:
Procedure
- In the Remote Systems view, expand your connection and then expand Objects.
- Drill down through the list until you find the file you want to
open. The initial default for items (when you double-click) is the Remote
Systems LPEX editor. Right-click your file if you want to open it in a different
editor or in a different mode.
What to do next
Go to and then to in the
Preferences window
to associate more editors with your
IBM i file
types.
