Re: Custom compiler commands not being saved.

I created a custom compile command thought Compile->Compile->Work with

I had the same problem after I upgraded to 8.5 from 7.0.0.8. When I did
the upgrade, I made a copy of my 7.0 workspace and let 8.5 convert it to
the new layout. It turns out that somewhere along the line, a glitch
occurred and there is a configuration file that has duplicate entries.

IBM's official response was to create a new workspace - which works
perfectly, but I have a LOT of custom commands, filters, etc. that I
really don't want to re-create. Thankfully, the support staff explained
exactly which file contained the duplicates and advised me that if I
really, really wanted to edit that file by hand to go for it - with the
clear caveat that if I didn't do it right, the official recovery was
going to be 'create a new workspace'. I see why support would recommend
creating a new workspace - after all, what else might have a hiccough?

With whose caveats in mind look for the following file. You will have
to do some research to find the exact path to your copy:

.metatdata\.plugins\org.eclipse.rse.core\profiles\PRF.buck_2043\PS.compilecommand.ibmi-qsys_8454607\node.properties

Close RDP and open the node.properties file in a plain text editor. I
used Notepad++ but don't see any reason Notepad won't work. Inside that
file are a list of the compile commands organised by source type. Here
is an example of the C source type:

All of the commands usable for the C source type are listed here. The
next one is for CBL, and it is 06-child.00002:

06-child.00002.00-name=CBL
06-child.00002.01-type=PropertySet
06-child.00002.03-attr.description=null
06-child.00002.06-child.00000.00-name=type
06-child.00002.06-child.00000.01-type=Property
06-child.00002.06-child.00000.03-attr.type=java.lang.String
06-child.00002.06-child.00000.03-attr.value=compiletype
06-child.00002.06-child.00001.00-name=name
06-child.00002.06-child.00001.01-type=Property
06-child.00002.06-child.00001.03-attr.type=java.lang.String
06-child.00002.06-child.00001.03-attr.value=CBL
...

This pattern repeats. For me, the final entry is .00034 QMQRY. After
that, it started all over again with .00035 and C. What I did was to
delete the entirety of the file from this duplicate 'C' entry right to
the end.

Hope this helps.
