Re: can't see field names in outline

I'm not the OP, but I wanted to thank you, Roger, for mentioning this. I had no idea about it previously.

Dale,
Put your cursor on a file name in the F spec, right click, select Show Fields. This will display the field definitions and show the library for the file.

Did you set up your library list from the properties of your connection - Subsystems - iSeries Commands tab?

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.
