I almost never use the outline (except to enable content assist) but still
I'd like to see "Fields" called "Variables" and list everything there.
"Fields"? I dropped that term with RPGII.

While I haven't used this feature in the past, I agree with Mike. If I use
this feature in the future, I would likely look in the fields section first
because it may not be apparent what data type it is. I like the idea of
keeping system reserved indicators in the indicators section and having
named indicators in the fields section.

One of the things I like about this forum is that it reveals features that
I haven't used or discovered yet. The whole global definitions section is
largely an untapped resource for me, and one of the posts jogged my memory
about using content assist. Good stuff.

subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] To be under Indicators or not to be

I would prefer named indicators be listed as fields, while system reserved
indicators (*INxx, LR, etc) stay under indicators. A named indicator does
not jump out as an indicator unless you spend time analyzing how it is
used; system indicators are more obvious.

If listed as a field, the data type is shown to the right, making it
easier to recognize.
