The Commands Log view shows the joblog. That's its purpose.

Neither one of those RFE's address my simple issue.  I had the binding directories listed in lower case.  Oops, it won't compile - But in RDi, I have no idea why.
I do not want a joblog every time I compile a program.  If a program fails during the binding step, the joblog should be 
1. Created
2. Displayed in RDi

IBM is (and has been) pushing the use of RDi and modular programming (service programs and the like).  Very ironic that they are "not compatible" and this was somehow overlooked.

I've been using RDi for well over a year now... many times I find myself going back to the green screen (several times today) because of silly issues with RDi.  One of those issues is errors during the binding step.  The other is the quirky implementation of copying/pasting a blocks of text (overlaying) like you can do with SEU. 

Don't get me wrong... there are many advantages.  But some days it feels like there are just as many disadvantages.

Sorry for the rant.

We don't have a specific RFE on that.  The problem is that the CRTPGM
command doesn't have a *EVENTF option so it doesn't emit errors in a
compatible way with the the other compile commands.  This would take some
doing to work around.

But there are some relevant ones.

Add this to the list:

When a compile fails during the binding step, how about giving us a way to
see that in RDi?  There is no job log, no errors (other than a generic
"failed to compile").  To see anything useful, you need to compile on the
green screen.

I did report this, and basically got nothing but excuses as to why it
behaved like that.

To the developers of RDi,

For the next release of RDi, it would be nice if you would work on some of
the picky little things that kinda work but not really. Here is a partial
list:

Source Compare feature - Doesn't always compare nicely, particularly if one
source member has a bunch of spaces at the end of lines, and the other does
not. Not real sure how that happens, just that it does. And why does the i
Projects perspective source compare tool have the ability apply changes
from one source to the other, but not the RSE tool? Seems a little silly to
me for that feature to be missing from RSE since it is so useful.

Screen/Report designer - I hate to call any DDS keywords new features as
there really hasn't been anything added for quite some time, but it would
be nice if the Screen/Report designer would support "newer" keywords. Quite
a few things work better than they did with CODE, but not. Pushbuttons
render as a 2 digit field rather than the pushbutton. Better than CODE that
didn't render anything, but still not much help. AFP and IPDS keywords like
Barcode and line do not render nicely, and even Font does not render
properly (RDi is a GUI, and should be able to render these things).
Position would be harder, but just about anything would be nicer than
everything being placed at 1,1. And what is with the problems with a
horizontal subfile not rendering properly when it is contained in a window.
the subfile flows past the edge of the window, out to the edge of the
screen.
