The PDM option 14 is not available from the list of PDM option for a selection result list

Add the possibility to call the PDM option 14 (compile) also from the result of a selection list.


Use Case:

When a physical file is changed (for example the record structure is modified), usually it is necessary to recompile all the programs which use that physical file.
Via PDM it is possible to search (option 25) on the file containing the programs that need to be recompiled and then execute option 14 to compile subsequently all the selected members.
If you try to do the same via RDp, you can search the sources containgn the call to the file with the search panel, but then on the list of the sources it is not possible to execute the PDM option 14.
