For problem #1 make sure that the copy member parses without error and
that it can be found by RDP (try right clicking on the /COPY and opening
it?).

Hi Jon,
We always welcome your feedback
I have not seen your problem #1 - so please do open a PMR
Problem #2 - we have seen the problem with qualified names not working in
content assist - while I am aware of the issue - there is no APAR open on
it - please go ahead to make sure this problem gets addressed in this
release (bumps priority, etc.)
Problem #3 - there is a memory leak - we have an APAR SE54842 open -
problem is being actively addressed
Problem #4 - if this used to work - then please open a PMR - otherwise
please open an RFE - sounds like a good idea that others would agree with
Regards,
Edmund (E.H.) Reinhardt

Subject: [WDSCI-L] List of known problems in 8.5
Sent by: wdsci-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx
I am having a number of problems with 8.5 and am looking to open some
error
reports but don't want to waste effort (on IBM's and my part) reporting
known problems. Is there a list anywhere of problems that have already
been
reported?
Among others I'm seeing (or not as the case may be):
1) Items defined in /COPY members not showing up in Outline or in text
completion. In some cases if they are used they show up - but not always.
For instance in one program templates from the RPG OA copy member show up,
but prototypes from another copy member do not do not even when the
procedures are referenced.
2) Text completion does not work at all 25% of the time and in particular
not for qualified names with more than one level of qualification. I have
tried auto refresh and manual refresh of outline - no difference.
3) Severe slow-down. At times can I wait two minutes or more for a single
character to appear on the screen. The "garbage can" option for memory
clean up seems to help when this symptom first appears but once memory
usage gets above 1Gb it is a lost cause and only a restart helps. I am
running nothing but RDP in a 2Gb VM on a Mac that 8.0 used to scream on.
4) Help takes forever to launch and seems to get less precise (and
therefore less useful) with each release. In the "good old days" I used to
boast to customers about how accurately it positioned in the help text -
these days in /Free the best I can hope to get is a list of op-codes. Even
if you highlight the op-code it makes no difference. Position on or
highlight /Copy (for example) and you just get the "Full Line" page with a
list list of spec types. In D-specs - position on a keyword and you just
get the list of possible keywords. WHile I still love having the manual
available the utility is way less than it used to be.
There are others but these are the ones annoying me on a daily basis.
