Hi Mike,
It has literally taken a month of being passed around various IBM support centres (apparently our customer ID was listed as retired, even though it is not) but I can now view that APAR.
It does appear to relate to my problem, but the fix "turn off the auto-outline" isn't really that good. Does the existence of this APAR mean that a fix is in the pipeline somewhere?

Hi Mike,
I'm having issues finding my passport advantage ID for the rational product (issues of the bureaucratic kind), so I can not view the link you provided. Can you (or someone) cut&paste the relevant text of the description of that APAR to this list so that I can check if it covers my issue?

Hi Paul, Does this describe the problem?
APAR SE54842 - Fields defined LIKE fields from an external file lack field characteristics in the ILE RPG Outline View.

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
