Re: Outline sort feature removed

All kinds of nice things about outline view - if you use prefixes, the names are displayed there as seen in the program.

In addition, if you need to know about keylists, you can find them there, meaning you don't have to roll back to some other part of the code.

Along with outline, the hyperlink support is very neat - hold down ctrl and hover over a variable or subroutine name or procedure - whatever - you get a link to click that takes you to the definition. Alt-Left takes you back where you were - very handy.

And content assist is tied to outline info, I believe - there are some things that haven't seemed to work all the time, but I suspect it's due to some misspelling or error in the code ahead of my current location.

Gee, I have been using the compile error list to find "Dead-Code" RNF7030 (Not used) to comment-out or remove dead-code...

It is good to know, you can see that in the outline view. The outline view is great, but sadly I know that I don't use it that often. I need to use it more!

Thanks for the great info!

Buck, I live by Outline. Of course, right now I'm doing a lot of work
on legacy code that's been converted to ILE, so that may be why I love
it so much. :) One of its best features is showing me unused
variables and letting me clean out the deadwood.

Thanks Joe, that's right in my wheelhouse. I'll try to remember to use it for the next one.
