Re: rdi and external procedure lookup

Hi Vern,

I just tried that and CTRL while hovering is not doing anything.

I'm looking at both COBOL ILE and an RPGILE pgm.
Hovering doesn't do anything but I can highlight and right click and get an
option for x-analysis to look it up... but our x-analysis is not currently
configured correctly.
But I bet that is about the only way... was thinking/hoping that RDI may
have some x-ref functionality built in, but just not seeing it.

I do appreciate your suggestion.

thanks

Jay

Hi Jay

If you are looking at the call, you can maybe press Ctrl when hovering
over the name, that should give you a hyperlink to where the procedure
comes from. If that is a /copy or /include, you can right-click that to
open the source for the include.

Just hovering over the name can give you lots of information in recent
releases.

Maybe that is what you need, let us know one way or the other!

Cheers
Vern

For those that know RDI well..

when in a source member and you come across a call to an external
procedure, what feature do you use in RDI to quickly find out what module
that procedure lives in?
I've heard there is a way but cannot find it.

I'm used to always putting a module name prefix at the beginning of the
procedure name which is very helpful when you have heavy ILE integration
for the program. Multiple BNNDDIR's, modules, and srvpgms to look
through can be time consuming.
