Re: RFE for - Add MONMSG to control codes when filtering view by control; improve [Shft]-Ctrl-M behavior

Hi Vern,

Wait, I'm not offering to do it for you. ;) It's just that it sounded like you thought entering a PMR was too difficult - when it's exactly the same as an IBM i PMR except you pick a different product (and you can tell it to remember that product so in the future you don't have to browse for it).

I admit I see this as a PMR: "In CL code, the MONMSG command can have a DO on its EXEC parameter. This, however, does not appear in the filtered view for controls. The corresponding ENDDO, however, DOES appear. So you can't see this important detail." Sounds like an oversight bug. I have a PMR open for the %parmNum bif where content assist won't work on the parameter to the bif. This I entered as a PMR b/c content assist has become unreliable (much as your filter view has). And similar, this is what I'd call a bug due to oversight.

For your RFE - will I vote for it? Er... I only ever use filter view by date, and spend <1% of my time in CL... In solidarity with other midrange users, I could vote for it, although since I don't use the function I'd feel bad about doing so.

-Kurt

Hi Kurt

I've submitted tons of PMRs via different avenues for many years. I guess I don't see these items as bugs. So I'll stick with the RFE route.

So are you going to vote for it? If not, maybe submit a PMR yourself, eh? It's always good to have fix or enhancement requests coming in from different sources.

Regards
Vern

Once you know how to open a PMR (no different than an IBM i PMR, just a different product that you select), you can open PMRs until the cows come home. I bet they love me for that. Ha.

RFE is easier to enter - haven't tried a Rational PMR - can't take the time, either!!

I agree on the MONMSG - the other is more make it really helpful. Maybe a bug - not exactly a feature this way!

I would classify these issues as bugs. Especially the one where the
MonMsg (do) does not show up but its corresponding EndDo does.
Have you tried opening a PMR and then been told by IBM to open a RFE ?

Have a nice day.
Thierry.
