Re: Implied subfield definition not in Outline

Ok I'll create the RFE tomorrow and will post it to the mailing list.

Hope you make up on sleep this weekend, Edmund.

Thanks,

Go for it, Kurt - I know I'll vote for it!

Get some sleep, Edmund, we need you sharp on these things!

Kurt, I totally agree with you. This should get addressed.
We do have an internal Apar SE51958, so this is a known limitation.
Opening an RFE and getting votes will help us prioritize the resources.
I want to do this, but I have to make choices, only got 2 hours of
sleep last night.

Hey List,

So I entered a PMR to report an issue where an implied subfield
definition was appearing as Unknown(0) in the outline.
Example:
D ds_Cust DS Qualified Inz
D Data Dim( 999999 ) Ascend
D Cust# 6p 0 Overlay( Data: *next ) Inz
D Cycle 1a Overlay( Data: *next ) Inz
D DropCDRs n Overlay( Data: *next ) Inz
D TLRNRating n Overlay( Data: *next ) Inz

The outline gives the definition for Data as Unknown(0). But the
compiler understands it.

I reported this because I would think that seeing Uknown(0) in your
product would be bad. How often would I reference/use the definition
of this kind of subfield? Rarely.

Well, I was told that this would require a RFE. I disagree because
the software isn't supporting existing RPG coding techniques, but at this point
I guess I just don't care that much about it. So, I figured I'd write the
list to see if anyone would benefit from me arguing the point with IBM
(or sighing and entering an RFE). Otherwise I'll just let it drop.

Thanks,
