Re: *ENTRY vs. " PI " in RDP 8.0.3 problems with OUTLINE view

Hi Ken,

Yes sadly, we know about the problem of loading stale code and we are
working to resolve that. To greatly reduce the chance of it happening you
can turn off the preference to use the live outline. You won't have the
nice outline in RPGLE but you will have all the other goodies...

I have reproduced the problem in 8.0.3 so I am waiting for your PMR...

Mike,

I downloaded RDP 8.5 and it used it for over 30-days...

I ran into too many problems with RDP 8.5

It did not LOAD current code from the IBM i, and instead grabbed an
out of date version in the "BUFFER". Which had me chasing my tail...

I tried to update a DDS screen, and it did NOT updated the source
code...

And I ran into other various small errors. So, I went back to RDP 8.
0.3, which did NOT have any of those problems...

Except for RDP 8.5, every version has always been better and more
reliable than the previous version. I think several of those
problems have already been reported. I am going to wait until a
service-pack/Patch/Update on RDP 8.5, before I try it again...

Inside RDP 8.5, I did like the Reconciler, and the way you can
finally customized the Date/Time view in the Table view.

A lot of good things to love about RDP 8.5. But, I found it to be
unreliable for me. I guess it was just me...

What about just using RDP 8.5 ?

Hi,

Going forward, I am using the procedure interface the "PI" for my
*ENTRY parameters.

But, I hate HARD-CODING the program name in the "PI"...

So, I leave it BLANK, and it compiles fine and executes as expected!
Cool!

Now to back to RDP 8.0.3, it blows up when I try to create an OUTLINE
view. It just crashes and ends RDP. No message, No Error, just
ENDS...
<Big Frown>

I even tried to verify first. But that fails, because it wants me to
HARD-CODE the Main procedure in the "PI" statement...

I guess I should go back to FIXED Format for *ENTRY parameter list...
<Disappointment>

PS. I understand when you have multiple modules, and you need to know
the main interface. But, we mostly use Service programs.
