Hi Terry
This is what is going on.
We try to make the grammar fault tolerant, but if our grammar gets too
confused, it cannot build a model. You will see the yellow triangle
annotations in this case.
If there was a successful parse before the current change, we will continue
to use that old model, until we can start to recognize the source again.
So when you first loaded, there was no prior good parse, so we did not show
the outline.
When you deleted the subroutine, we could parser the source and create a
model and draw an outline on it.
When did the undo, we could not parse, so we continued to use the model
from before. This will of course eventually get out of synch, in fact line
references beyond the subprocedure will be off. But it certainly is better
than nothing.
You will want to look for the yellow triangles and fix those issues and
live outline can be up-to-date again.
I am glad you liked our fall back solution, when we can't parse the current
code.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Outline trick?
Sent by: wdsci-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx
I'm using an existing 3,000 line program to create a new one and am making
major changes to the logic and flow within one sub-procedure. When I opened
the program in the morning, the outline was not populated because the
incomplete code in the sub-procedure that I am working on is causing
issues. I really needed the outline to be able to easily jump back and
forth between sub-procedures so I tried to fix the sub-procedure, but I
couldn't see any issue, so to save time and aggravation I deleted the
sub-procedure. That caused the outline to be populated. I then clicked on
undo, which restored the sub-procedure, and the outline was still
populated. I don't know if RDi is supposed to work that way but it got me
what I needed.
