RDi Drill down capabilities

I have a sub-procedure that is called from multiple locations in the program. If I place the cursor on one of the calls and press F3, RDi takes me to the procedure called. If I use Alt-Left or Alt-Right, nothing happens. The source stays positioned at the called sub-procedure. Is that the way the Alt-Arrow keys are supposed to work or should they navigate back to the call?

Yes, that's right, F3 now acts like Ctrl-Click in that in that you can navigate from any reference to any declaraction, including subroutines and procedures to the definition.
And Alt-Left, Alt-Right will navigate back and forth along the chain of references that you have navigated.

This was in response to the RFE for F3 to navigate to d-specs as well as subroutines/procedures.

Woohoo!!



I did not see this in the fix list but if you installed 9.1.1 and use F3 to drill into sub routines / procedures you see a new message "Press Alt
+ Left/Right to switch between the previous and the current location."
But wait there is more. If you press F3 on another sub routine / procedure within the first one, you can go back up the call chain by using the Alt +Left/Right arrows.





A hearty thanks for this feature!! I had this with a 3rd party SEU replacement and have missed something like this since I moved to the eclipse product platform.





Thanks, Matt
