RE: Use RDi in the IFS and make autocompletion work

This is interesting to know.
I don't know how to use it in my projects effectively.

In the ifs, I have this convention :
- Project Folder
- - Sub domain 1 folder
- - - sourceFile1.rpgle
- - Sub domain 2 folder
- - - sourceFile2.rpgle
- - Module folder
- - - moduleFile.rpgle


The module file copy everything in the project with the /copy command, with a relative path.
Then, I just have to compile the moduleFile.rpgle source.

This is important that the path is relative. Each programmer work with his own path in the ifs (the sources are merged in a git repository).
This way, each programmer has is own environment to code.
This the best way to organize sources in the ifs we found yet.

When a programmer is editing the sourceFile1.rpgle or sourceFile2.rpgle, I wish he had autocompletion.
But this source has no /copy command. A /copy command with a "/if not defined" command might do the trick (having the copy at editing, but not at compile time).
But before, I have to solve the relative path problem first.

One more thing that I figured out. Live parsing and autocomplete works, when the copy books are full qualified like this:

*
* -----------------------------------------
* Exported functions
* -----------------------------------------
/COPY /home/raddatz/ubmsys/QBASICS1/pbasics1rb.rpgle
*

It also works when the current directory is set to the folder of the copy books, which can be achieved with parameter 'Initial command' of the subsystem properties of the remote connection:

Initial command: CD '/HOME/RADDATZ/UBMSYS/QBASICS1/'

*
* -----------------------------------------
* Reference fields
* -----------------------------------------
/COPY basics1r0.rpgle

I assume that this issue is a defect in RDi. When I try to open a copy
book from the /COPY statement of an IFS source file, I receive error
message EVFR0026 "*LIBL/*LIBL/QRPGLESRC('H_SPEC.rpgle') not found."
That

implies to me that RDi tries to open a member of a source physical
file instead of an IFS file:



The module compiles fine using the following command:

CRTRPGMOD MODULE(QTEMP/BASICS1RB)
SRCSTMF('/home/raddatz/ubmsys/QBASICS1/basics1rb.rpgle')

Since the compiler locates the included IFS file, it should be a bug
in RDi.

I put my rpgle sources in the IFS for ages.
There is a lot of benefits.
I can put my sources in a git repository (http://www.git-scm.com/).
I can create files and folders with a long name.
I can organize sources in subfolders, etc.
It is worth it.

There is something that bother me a little.
If I put my rpgle sources in qsys instead, using RDi, I can use
autocomplete from copied sources.
I don't have this feature in the IFS, and I want it.

What does it mean :
When i have 2 sources in QSYS :
------------------------
Source1.rpgle :
P DisplayHelloWorld...
P b EXPORT
D pi
/free
dsply 'Hello world';
/end-free
P e
------------------------
Source2.rpgle :

/free
//I type "D" => RDi suggest "DisplayHelloWorld" (and

parameters,

etc.)

DisplayHelloWorld();
/end-free

/copy LIB/qrpglesrc,source1
------------------------

If I have 2 sources in the IFS :
------------------------
SourceIfs1.rpgle :
P DisplayHelloWorld...
P b EXPORT
D pi
/free
dsply 'Hello world';
/end-free
P e
------------------------
SourceIfs2.rpgle :

/free
//I type "D" => RDi don't suggest "DisplayHelloWorld"
DisplayHelloWorld();
/end-free

'SourceIfs1.rpgle'
------------------------

This missing feature is quite annoying, is there any way to get it

back

?
