Re: Main before procedures.and annoying collapse of the outline view.

Thanks, Edmund. I guess I got ahead of myself on the Main thing.

Hi Kurt,
regarding the Main appearing before procedures, that APAR was referring to the mainline that is not actually a procedure, but calc statements that appear before procedures. There was a bug that even though these statements appear before any subprocedures, the node in the outline view appeared at the end. This was fixed in 9.1.
From looking at your source I infer that you want the procedure that is identified as the main procedure via a control opt statement to appear before all other procedures as you have suggested in your RFE
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=46849
This RFE has 9 votes and is still under consideration.

I do see the annoying behaviour about the procedures collapsing. We rebuild the model of the RPG program on every keystroke, so the outline view is updated. We remember which item was selected last and then reselect it, expanding everything down to the selected item.
I could see an RFE that suggested remembering all expanded nodes and attempting to reexpand them when the outline view is replaced. Of course we would have to handle the cases where things are deleted or renamed and no longer findable.

I am glad you are enjoying the new features of 9.1 and have always appreciated your constructive feedback.

I'll email you the source Edmund.

As far as the outline constantly collapsing, I am able to reproduce it and will detail that in my email to you as well, Edmund.

Kurt, you are right that this problem was supposed to be fixed under APAR SE56929.
I have tested again and I still see Main above the subprocedures for both free and fixed ILE RPG.
Can you send me the source that is not showing the Main in the right location, and I will look into it.

I haven't figured out how to reproduce it, but twice now the Subprocedures tree collapses (so I don't see all of the subprocedures). It happened to be once after switching sources. Happened another time while in the same source, I think I had tested out the filter and was clicking around. I'm curious if other people might run into this and try and reproduce it if they do.

I thought that the Main Procedure was supposed to be at the top per SE56929.
https://www-304.ibm.com/support/entdocview.wss?uid=swg1SE56929
In my case nothing seems to be different about the Main Procedure in the Outline. I'm not sure if it's because I'm using all free-form code.

Is there any way to get Subprocedures to auto-expand. It was doing that before, now I have to expand it. As someone who predominantly uses procedures, this was nice to have auto-expand.

From some quick playing around, Content Assist seems to be working pretty well so that's great.
Also, I think the Filter is pretty cool.

Thankfully I didn't have any issues with the actual install. This was my first time having access to a new version through PPO and that was pretty easy to use.
