Kurt makes a good point,
This will likely be fixed in upcoming releases, which you can only get if
you have a license. If you are the only one using it, then you only need
to purchase 1 license, which is an even easier business case. Eventually
others will notice your superior productivity and join you. (no
guarantees :-)
Why don't you paste in a snippet of RPG and DSPF DDS that demos the
problem, so we can reproduce and document the bug (and fix it). Maybe one
of your buddies will even open an APAR on it which will force the issue.

Sent by: wdsci-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx
Indicator references show up correctly in my outline. I'll try to keep an
eye out for it not working.
That said, if you feel RDi 9.0 is worth it to you, then make the case for
why it's worth it. Exclude the known bugs from the justification. Bugs
get worked out. Being stuck on an old version pretty much guarantees that
any bugs that exist at that level aren't getting fixed, because the fix is
to upgrade. If you can make the case for how beneficial RDi 9.0 would be
for you, that's all that should matter. You're not asking for licenses for
the whole shop if they're not going to use it. I do understand the
struggle. I've had to go through it as well. Thing is, once it's
approved, you have to stay on top of them to keep making the yearly
payments, then you shouldn't have to run into this again (hopefully).
Best of luck,
Kurt

But, the outline view does not work in RDi 9.0 either, for the indicators.
Not listing all the places the indicator is used...
:(
So, I beg with management to purchase the RDi 9.0 or the SWA, and it still
doesn't work...
:( Hard to make a case for upgrade.
In today's economy, I have to tread carefully, when asking for extra
spenditure and 70% of the programming staff is NOT using RDP.
Oh well, their lost, not mine! <smirk> I will still use an OLD version of
RDP over SEU<yuck!>

Entitled, yes, if under maintenance. You still need to get the activation
kit for the new version. In ESS, I think there was download for it - our
system admin got it. In PA I believe there's some license link.

Buck,
I'm aware that it's a separate license, but if you're current on Rational
Developer, I'm pretty sure you're entitled to the new license. Any
internal red-tape one might have to go through is an unfortunate side
effect - one that I'm going through now as our BP continues to try to get
us switched to PPO. I have 2 days left on my 9.0 trial (which I also
notified our BP about).

The licence doesn't automatically follow from the earlier version. I
upgraded without charge from 8.5 to 9.0 via Passport Advantage but I had to
get new licences. That worked OK for me since I'm the designated admin
person here. Individual developers can't easily get the 9.0 licence - they
have to go through the designated admin. No idea how it works with ESS.
