Hi Paul, Does this describe the problem?

Hi Edmund,
I experience the problem where the outline and the hover tooltip in RPGLE
sources refuse to show the definition of a field that is defined LIKE()
one of the fields from one of the files defined on an F-spec - it displays
"Unknown (0)". This happens in all /FREE and fixed sources, and is not
corrected after an outline refresh, a cache clear, a -clean start, or a
new workspace.
I've created a short dummy RPGLE and DDS source pair that reproduces this
problem. Do you need anything else before I create a PMR? Speaking of
which, what other info do I need to create the PMR? (Never created one
before.)
I've included the sources here just in case others are interested and can
offer advice.

Hi Jeff,
There are 2 possible scenarios.
There is a known problem where any LIKE definitions in terms of fields
from external files are lost as soon as you do some edits. Hitting
Refresh will get them back. This is an RFE I would like to get to soon
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=29965
- feel free to vote for it.
But I also have a PMR from someone that sees his LIKE definitons not
resolving even after Refresh (with the files in the library list of
course). But I have not been able to reproduce it. If you could open a
PMR and send in material to reproduce the problem, we will all be better
off.
Thanks,
Edmund (E.H.) Reinhardt
