Hi Terry,
As of the live RPG support in 8.5, RDi is now building a model of your RPG
with every key stroke and maintaining the outline view among other things.
If we are unable to build this model due to a severe RPG syntax error
(severe enough that our grammar gets confused and is unable to recognize
the rest of the file) then this is highlighted with an annotation (which
does show up as the triangle, the exact syntax that is confusing the
grammar is highlighted with the squiggly underline. This is similar to
the behaviour you get with the best editing tools in Eclipse.
You could avoid this behaviour by going to the static outline, but I
sincerely recommend learning to take advantage of the behaviour. This live
model is going to be the basis of a lot of great tooling we want to provide
you.
If it is complaining about valid RPG, then this is something I want to know
about right away, because this will mean that all of the tooling on top of
the live model will not work beyond that point in the file.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Squiggly yellow lines
Sent by: wdsci-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx
I am using RDi 9.0.0.1 and just made my first coding error (tongue in cheek
of course). Seriously, while I was entering a new select group, the editor
added yellow squiggly lines to the uncompleted lines as well as adding a
yellow triangle to the left of the line number on some of the lines. I
assumed it was because I hadn't entered the ENDSL line yet. I wasn't sure
how I felt about this at first but then decided I kind of liked it until I
found that the yellow squiggly lines and yellow triangles are sometimes
placed on lines well beyond where the error occurred; lines that had no
issues. First, is this the expected behavior in RDi? Second, how does RDi
decide where to start adding the yellow squigglies and where to quit?
Third, is there a preference to turn them off if the lines that aren't in
error become distracting?
