Re: Mark Occurrences support

Dave
You are right that this feature (like hover and hyperlink) depends on the
new live model. So yes the live outline needs to be turned on. Our plan is
take advantage of the info in this live model and give you more features in
the future.
So if you have issues with the live model let us know.

Yes CL does not have a live outline view. I believe there is an RFE for
that. Vote away.

The multiple occurrences calculation is triggered by selecting a field. So
yes, it does not get updated as you type. In this way it is not as dynamic
as the Java support. But that is the current design and an improvement
would be an RFE.

Edmund, does this feature require that the live outline be turned on and
correctly loaded? That's my experience so far. Sources where the outline
is broken produce very odd results, and of course the outline for CL is
still pathetic, so it doesn't work there, either.

I also see the behavior Buck noted where it doesn't pick up additions until
it's 'reset', so to speak. I assume that's a design issue, rather than a
bug per se.

It fails to work for me as well. To start using the highlighter you

turn on the highlighter on the tool bar (appears on the right side to the
tool bar next to the quick access search box, for me) and double click on

a

defined item (anything that stars with a DCL-xxx). It attempts to
highlight the line which the field is found but it always highlights the
source line to the right by about 12 characters. It does not highlight
lines for fields used with the operators like +=, -=, /=, *=, fields used
in in-line conditions to set indicators, fields used in definition

keywords

and when the field is not the first field token on the line (this

includes

multiple uses on same line).

This works for me but I might have a different scenario to present.
Open an existing member with the following lines:

dcl-s myVar int(10);
myVar += 1;

Turn on the highlighter.
Double click myVar on the DCL-S line.
Both instances are highlighted and marked to the right.
Now duplicate the += line.
The new line is not marked, nor is the variable highlighted.
Ctrl-S to save. Still not highlighted or marked.
I have the Outline View set to auto-refresh. Clicking the refresh icon
does not mark or highlight the new lines. The only thing that seems to
work is to click a different variable and come back to myVar. That
works 100% of the time for me.

I updated to 9.1.1 via IM on top of my existing 9.1, not a new

installation.

Same here. One additional note: When I tried starting up, I got an
error in some log file I neglected to record (had a meeting and stupidly
smacked Enter). I started again with -clean and it came up fine.

I didn't think I'd take to this (I don't use it much in java) but I
think I like it for those older beasts where the same variable is
scattered across 2000 lines of code.
