Re: F1 on opcodes in ILE RPG editor not bringing up help in 9.0.1

Dave,

Yes, I had the problem. In fact, I was having problems getting the help
to come up on anything. I wasn't sure if it was just a general problem
with my PC as it has been rather cantankerous of late. I now get help on
most everything--just not a DSPF or a PRTF. On these, I get the 'Topic
not found' error. It is possible that my original problem with help was
unrelated to the issue Mike addresses, but I definitely had problems with
F1 context-sensitive help.

9.0.1

Michael,

One thing I think Mike left out is to check whether you actually
have the problem first. I didn't, F1 pulls up the opcode help
perfectly, so I didn't do the fix. So, do you have the problem?

Mike,

I'm puzzled. in my user directory I only have
org.eclipse.equinox.security--nothing like org.eclipse.platform_,,,,,,

By

renaming the folder are we just trying to get it out of the way or do we

need to have one ending in common-original?

I've tried searching my system for the directory you specify below, but

I

can't find it anywhere. (Perhaps this is my problem?) I did find the
.prefs file folder under .metadata in my workspace (just as described).

It

seems I now get context sensitive help in RPGLE source--correctly
displaying the help for opcodes, etc., but all I'm getting in a DSPF is
'Topic not found'.

Any thoughts/suggestions?
