Re: Outline line numbers

Al,

I asked pretty much the same question a month or two ago. The upshot is that if you click on the field name, it will take you to the first line that the field is defined on, but that line number doesn't show in the outline. I hope that IBM changes that in the future, but it appears that that's 'working as designed'.

I don't know of any way to get the outline to show sequence numbers rather than source line numbers (which is what those numbers are). I don't think it's in there, but I don't know for sure. It might already be on an enhancement list somewhere.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Outline line numbers

I have a field named PM_MAIN, it is used and defined in 2 spots in the
program. It is first defied/used at 026805 and then defined/used at
031906.
When you click on the field name in the outline, you are brought to line
026805 in the source. When you click on the "360 (D)", you are brought to
line 031906. My first question is why the first reference at 284 (aka
026805) not shown when expanded. My second question is: can a change be
made to use the 284 / 360 line sequence numbers rather than the 26805 /
031906 as stored in the source without re-sequencing the source, or can
the outline be configured to use the 26805 / 031906 rather than the 284 /
360 line sequence numbers? It would be nice to have the outline sequence
numbers match the source sequence numbers.
