Re: Visual Studio Code

Hello gentlemen

I am just at the CEC 2021 conference, so I will give you all an update when
I come back. Both link to the source and how to create your own snippets..
so they will not be overwritten when you update to the next version that
also include “monitor” snippets..

Again thank you so much for your interest

Thanks Sam,

I did go all the way through that process but the snippets added by Niels
don't show up - just an empty placeholder comment block for RPG code which
I assume was placed there by the Code fro IBM i extension.

Not to worry - when I need it I'll play with it and get it sorted.

In that same link there is this, which tells how to list all available

snippets:

"You can see the available snippets for a language by running the Insert

Snippet command in the Command Palette to get a list of the snippets for
the language of the current file. However, keep in mind that this list also
includes user snippets that you have defined, and any snippets provided by
extensions you have installed."

Command Palette is F1.

Now that doesn't show the underlying code. But for a quick and dirty

look, go to https://github.com/NielsLiisberg/RPG-for-VSCode. Click Code,
then you can browse the underlying code.

I use VS Code but I'm not an expert. I also use the Code for IBM i

extension and I know it currently has virtually all the functions (%xxx,,,)
defined as snippets. And they are all defined in a separate file which is
part of the extension. I beleive the contributor plans to add some logic
constructs when he finds time.

Having said that, but not yet done it myself, I believe that if you

define your own snippets they won't be blown away by an update to the
extension.

Not sure what happens if your own snippet is a duplicate of a provided

one.

Yes and no Sam.

It shows me where I can add my own - but it doesn't show me the ones

that were added by Niels' extension and those are the ones I would like to
study and potentially modify.
