Re: Outline view

Hi Buck,

The outline view doesn't yet support embedded SQL, but its on out list of
requirements.

I  thought that the outline view did show line numbers - which is not the
same thing as sequence numbers.  Look at the top left over the ruler in the
LPEX window, and you will see your current cursor position by Line and
Column.

thanks,

Thanks to posts here, but especially to the blog
(http://wdsc.wordpress.com/), I'm trying the Outline view for the first
time.  Yeah, yeah, go ahead and snicker.  I've been using the spooled
file compiler listing all this time.  Anyway, I'm ashamed to say that I
have been ignoring discussions of the Outline view because I haven't
been using it.  I looked in the archives, help and Windows->Preferences
  and didn't see how to adjust any settings, so I'll ask here with an
apology if I skipped an earlier answer.

I'm looking at an SQLRPGLE source member.  I'm FETCHing into a qualified

DS.

1) The Outline view doesn't show any references to some members of that
DS, probably because they're referred to only by the precompiler.  Is
there a setting for that?

2) What do the line numbers mean in the Outline view?  They neither
match the Lpex line numbers in the edit window, nor do they match the
compiler listing line numbers.  Not crucial since clicking on a line
takes you there.  (That's interesting behaviour that I might want to tap
into with a plug-in!)

3) Is there a way to get the Outline view to recognise the columns used
in the DECLARE ... CURSOR?  For instance, DECLARE CURSOR FOR SELECT NAME
FROM MYTABLE.  'NAME' doesn't show in the Outline view.  Of course, it
doesn't show in the compiler cross reference either, but a guy can
always hope can't he?  :-)

This is a nifty thing.  Need to use it more.  Nice job!
