Great idea, Stu. I would love to see that as well.

If I can tag along here...

4. Show me the names I keyed for parameters in prototypes; even though they
are not required, they are ALLOWED and should be shown. It gives so much
more information than CHAR(1).

That would be nice, especially for field names that aren't mnemonic.

My biggest desires for content assist are:

1. Show me decimal positions. (Can I add "for the love of god" to that?
Every time I ctrl-space a numeric field, I sigh then go to the outline to
find how many decimal positions the number field has.)

2. Show me the value of a Constant.

3. Allow content assist in Browse mode (but obviously turn off the 'select
from content assist' aspect of it).

Thanks,
Kurt

Does anyone else think it would be a good idea when using the Content
Assist
that not only will it show the field attributes but also pull in the field
text description from the dds?

Thanks
