Bummer - should have complained about it before. Does it not even show it if the length is explicitly defined?

Jon,

I still have WDSCi 7.0 loaded, so I started it up to check. Data structure lengths don't show in its outline. I also tried the static outline in 9.0.1, and they don't show in that, either. Me, I always lose the argument that there was a bug in the spec, especially with IBM. <grin>

Hmmmm - I'm surprised you consider it new function. The old RPG xref data that outline view used to be based on contained that information as by definition a DS is an alpha field whose length is the sum of its parts (or the declared length if one was given.

Can't go back to the old version but I thought that used to be included in outline.

We do not show incorrect information for data structures in hovers.
But the full potential of hovers is not exploited.
It might be useful to compute the lengths of data structures and show that.
This would be a new piece of function.
