Code Coverage is a new feature in the latest version of RDi - here's a bit from the help text in 9.1.1 -

"Running code coverage provides insight into how well your test cases are exercising your IBM i applications by reporting results showing the percentage of lines in your code run by a test case as well as line by line coverage details. You can runcode coverage for any IBM i application that you can debug."

So you set up code coverage, then run a test scenario - you find out whether some stuff is never touched, I believe. Can be good to know.

Just saw a recent post from Edmund Reinhardt about a Test Optimizer, so I
look at the tutorial, and it talks about Code Coverage, which I thought was
a java only tool, but the tutorial shows some RPG programs. So, me being a
green screen programmer for a business centered around an MRP package, does
Code Coverage mean anything to me? I did try running a Code Coverage
Report against one of my programs, and I see a list of my sub-procedures
with various Coverage %s, but I don't see what that means to me.
