Re: Content assist for RPG

Did you try using Content Assistant with the cursor in Pos 6?

When I do I get the specification characters. You can also press
CTRL-SPACE when inside at certain positions on a source spec and WDSC
will give you basic details. It does not work properly with specs that
have many meanings like I or O-specs when the line is completely blank.

Thanks, Matt

The H in column 6 is the key. Bummer. What I am trying to do is put
the module skeleton in a template and then include it using content
assist. I don't think this will work if I have to type something in
column 6 first.

I tested my WDSc 7.0 with a new RPGLE source member. With one blank
line in the source file I put an 'H' in column 6 and pressed CTL + SPACE
and was able to start typing OPTION. Content assist worked just fine.
Refreshing the outline should have nothing to do with commands.

Is your CTRL + SPACE set as a user key function? That would prevent any
use of CTRL + SPACE as content assist. You can check this at
Window>Preferences - LPEX Editor > User Key Actions. Look for
something in the list that would be c+space. I could not get content
assist to fail, even when a user key action withe CTRL+SPACE was set as
an action.

Do you have the option in the Edit drop down menu for Content assist?
