I have to ask - how did you ever think that an asterisk is a substitute for *OMIT? *OMIT has been documented ever since it first appeared.

Now I may have missed something.

But I vote for NOT changing anything here, rather fix RDi to do the right thing.

I don't consider the compiler to need any fixing -working as designed.

This is a survey that I started as a result of an APAR that I opened at
IBM. The actual problem I have is that RDI 9.0 issues a warning for the
following statements and therefore does not automatically refresh the
"Outline" view.

sendMessage(*: THIS); // - unexpected token(s) ignored
sendMessage('Hello': *); // - unexpected token(s) ignored
sendMessage(*); // cannot detect whether or not it is
// a procedure call or an indexed array
sendMessage(); // legal statement

Now IBM says that the compiler causes the problem, because actually it
should not accept the '*' as a replacement for '*omit'. Finally they asked
me whether or not I want to open an APAR to fix the compiler. Since
changing the compiler would cause a lot of work for us I am not sure what
to do and I like to know whether or not you were affected when IBM changed
the compiler.

Please select:

[ ] Not affected, let IBM change the compiler

or

[ ] STOP, never change the compiler

Feel free to add additional comments.

Thank you.

Thomas.
