Re: Outline can't find include files after upgrading to 9.0.1

The current RPG Live outline design will only query the host for copy files
when the editor is opened,
or if the refresh icon on the outline view is manually clicked. The rest
of the time, it uses the local client cache of
copy files. (This is intended to avoid repeated wasteful queries to the
host)
It does not re-query the host for the changed file name when an editing
change is made to a /COPY line.
(The user should click the outline refresh if they do so.)

Also, note that the library needs to be in the library list for the RDi
connection, in order to find the file, if the /COPY is not library
qualified

Current unresolved APARs are:

- APAR SE56679 - RDi COPY FILE NOT FOUND MESSAGE IS ISSUED WHEN STARTING
WORKSPACE THAT HAD SOURCE LEFT OPENED

Error Description:
When a file that contains a /copy is left open in the editor and
the workspace is closed and then reopened, a warning appears
next to the /copy line.  This warning states:
"The copy file is not found until you hit the refresh hit in the
Outline view"
This message that the copy file is not available is confusing
and misleading to a user.
LOCAL FIX:
Hit the Refresh key in the Outline view and copy file will be
found and the errors will disappear.


- APAR SE56522 - RDI 9.0 RPGLE /COPY FILE REFERENCES NOT FOUND CORRECTLY
WHEN THE LIVE OUTLINE VIEW IS CLOSED

ERROR DESCRIPTION:
When the RPGLE live outline view is not open /copy statements
may be annotated with a yellow triangle indicating that the copy
file was not found. The Ctrl-Shift-F5 key sequence to refresh
the outline does not resolve the issue. Some copy files may even
be flagged with the annotation even if they were previously
detected when the file was opened if the /copy statement is
edited or newly entered into the source.

LOCAL FIX:
Leave the outline view open when editing RPGLE. Consider
minimizing rather than closing the view.


I suggest you open a PMR if your scenario is not one of these APARS,
and clicking the refresh icon on the Outline View does not resolve to
the /COPY.

(On the chance that the local workspace cache has gotten corrupted, you
could also try a new workspace ...)

This is a known issue that I reported, and I believe there is an APAR
for this...I'll have to look around to find out what the # is.

I also get the yellow triangle reporting it can't view the source. In
my case when I try to right click to open the member, it can't find it.
I do have a filter in my Remote Systems window to bring those up when I
encounter this. They don't get color coded like other RPGLE
applications because they are .txt files (even though they're RPGLE
code), so I go in and select what kind of document parsing to apply, and
then I can work with them through the LPEX Editor with ease.

I was hoping to see this fix in the latest upgrade but it didn't make
the cut. Hopefully it will be in the next one.

9.0.1

Hi everybody,

I have just upgraded my RDI to 9.0.1 and suddenly my outline view
stopped displaying information on variables and suprocedures declared in
our include files.
RDI does display a yellow triangle with the message (for example) "/COPY
file QHSRC,INSTIT00H not available. Refresh the Outline view after
ensuring the remote file is available.", but when I right click on the
line and select "/COPY Member", "Browse" it does find the member and the
member itself is syntactically correct .

Any ideas what's the problem and how to solve it ? It worked fine before
the upgrade, I haven't changed any settings after the upgrade to 9.0.1.
