RE: Small F1 help bug?

You're welcome.  Most of the other stuff I've noticed appears to be OPM
limitations instead of anything with WDSC.  (Can't use the underscore in a
program name, functionality like "accept from day-of-week", date/time
arithmetic, etc.)  Another feature that could be pretty useful is templates
- but they are available in ILE COBOL (not OPM COBOL) and in FREE FORM RPG
(not the fixed column / extended factor 2 ILE-RPG).

The nice thing is, by changing the source type on the COBOL stuff I have
looked into from CBL to CBLLE - there wasn't anything else I had to do to
use the newer functions and features.

Thanks, Bruce. I didn't even know about content assist. Learn something new
every day.

I just read in WDSCi Help that Content Assist is available for ILE COBOL. It
doesn't mention OPM COBOL. Does anyone know if IBM plans to support Content
Assist for OPM programs?

Thanks again,
Kelly

I just tried it on a couple COBOL programs.  One was an OPM (source type
CBL) the other was an ILE (source type CBLLE).  Hitting F1 with the cursor
on the word READ worked fine on the ILE program but I did get a blank screen
when I did that on the OPM program.  I had similar results with the "Content
Assist" piece - it works with ILE but not OPM.

I was showing a colleague how the F1 context sensitive help works when
coding COBOL. When I selected the MOVE or the PERFORM keywords and pressed
F1, the appropriate help window appeared as designed.  But when I selected
the READ keyword, the an empty help window appeared. It did not position us
to the help page for the READ statement. I attempted this multiple times and
even tried from two different READ statements in the program. I have not
tried all COBOL statement keywords, so I don't know whether or not this
happens for any other keywords.

Is this something with my installation, or is this something others
replicate?

Thanks,
Kelly
