I deal with a little resistance against naming constants. There's a lot of "But what's the actual value?" And it's a legitimate question because if you're working from the perspective of actual data, the meaning of the value doesn't help as much as the constant's value.
For instance, tell me what the value of this is:
LEG_UNKNOWN
The answer is not obvious in the name (nor should it be). The answer in this case is 'N'.

How would you not know the value of a constant? Surely you gave it a
meaningful name? :-)

These aren't new RFE's but I'd like to get more support on the following RFE's that I submitted. A couple of them are for functions that are available when editing RPGLE members but aren't available for RPG members. Unfortunately, some of us still have to support old systems written in RPGIII and not having these functions is a hindrance. The others are not RPG specific. Thanks.
#1 Preserve case when using F4 prompt:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=101
09
#2 Support F3 goto in RPG source members:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=128
15
#3 Enable block nesting in RPG source members:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=174
92
#4 Add button in debug to terminate debug and end the job:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=202
73
#5 Easier, more intuitive way to add a record format in Report Designer:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=211

I added several RFEs I thought would make the RDP tools better.
Please read them and vote if you think so, too.
