Re: can't see field names in outline

I'd suggest you Verify(Prompt), and on the Cache option, check the "Refresh Cache" property.

Sometimes, the cache attempts to retrieve metadata on some resource, and will make note of resources that it could not find. Forcing the cache to be refreshed on the Verify function can then properly retrieve the needed metadata about the resource.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] can't see field names in outline

Perhaps I am trying too many new things at once.

We have defined a new master file in DDL. I am writing a simple program
to move the data from the old file to the new file. I got a compile
error of invalid field name. I click on outline (and refreshed) to
review field names and there is no plus sign for the DDL defined file.
There is a plus sign for the DDS defined files and I can see the field
names. But not for the DDL defined file.

I have to use either ops nav or green screen tools to find the field
names. Obviously I am missing something. Is there another way to view
field names?

I am also having trouble seeing what file definition is pulled into the
program. It took me a while to get my library list correct for this new
project . I got errors using files with the same name in the wrong library.

How can I determine within RDI where the file definition is coming
from? Currently, I still print the compiles so I view the spool file to
see what library the file definitions are coming from. There has to be a
way to do this in rdi.
