The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Not to hijack this thread... but I often wondered why the "order" of some things matter on free form d-specs.
Example:
// This is not valid
dcl-ds myDS qualified extname('ExtFile');
end-ds;
RNF3529E Keyword is not allowed for a program-described data structure; keyword is ignored.
(extname is highlighted)
// This IS valid
dcl-ds myDS extname('ExtFile') qualified;
end-ds;
I guess it's "not so free form" free form? :)

Another is that they cannot be directly inspected in debug. If you use constants that are loaded from a copy book and you need to know what value it is you have to go back to the source to find out.
There's an RFE for debugging named constants:
