The outline view repositioning to the top is a PMR that we are actively
working on. We apologize for letting that one get past us.
The subroutine not being found is new to me. Check if there is a compile
error in the member that is preventing the parser from getting the new
definitions
There should NEVER again be a need to create new workspaces. Great new
feature allows you not only to export/import your workspace configuration
but to automatically distribute it to anyone who connects to the main IBM
i.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] RDi 9.1.1--> More issues on outline view/Code Assist.
Sometimes it works, sometime it does NOT. (Go back to PREVIOUS
VERSION!)
Sent by: "WDSCI-L" <wdsci-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Hi,
My Co-worker uses outline view a lot more than I do.
I guess, I don't often use this feature, because I still remember how slow
it was in WDSC 6.0. So, I got use to NOT using outline view, because at the
time it was so SLOW...
Now, it is pretty good, except for it no longer uses the cache, which cause
us to wait for outline view to load... <Whoops, side bar...>
Anyway, my co-worker has a huge program that he has written, and he is
constantly using outline view. He forgot the name of the name of
subroutine. So using the outline view, he merely scrolls down to see all
his subroutines. Then he goes back to his code to type in the found
subroutine name, that he forgot how he spelt it. It JUMPS his code to some
weird selection in OUT-LINE VIEW!!! ARRRRGGGGG
This happen when he did NOT Select anything in outline view!!!
ARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGG
It appears that when the outline view loses focus, it Jumps to the top, and
re-positions his LPEX CODE Window! Very Frustrating!!!!
Now, I tried to show him how to use Code-Assist, with Ctrl+spacebar, it did
NOT Bring up the Code Assistance after he typed the first letter of the
subroutine!!!! WTF?!?!?! The outline view was built...
But, guess what????? Restart RDI, and then it decides to work again??
Huh????
I just said, that is why I do NOT use OUTLINE view, it is still too
UNSTABLE, and repositions your code with NOTHING SELECTED. Just using the
scroll bar...
Now, to top it off, my co-worker went back to RDI 9.0.1., and NO ISSUE. He
can scroll UP & DOWN the outline view, and it DOES NOT reposition his
code!!! Especially when nothing is selected!!!!
So, what worked fine in a previous version, RDI 9.0.1, is now ONCE AGAIN
Broken in the NEW VERSION RDI 9.1.1.
Welcome to the continually Sloppy Quality control in the Rational Developer
world...
Thanks Beta-Testers for testing production code, and pay Rational
Developers to debug previously working things in previous versions...
The RDI-Merry-Go-Around continues....
YES! I am CONTINUALLY FRUSTRATED!!!
Let me guess, waste time and call IBM Tech Support, and say, "Something
that worked in a previous release, please "RE-FIX-IT" AGAIN!!! WTF
OH how I wish a third party would create a better IDE than RDI, like
Microsoft or JetBrains. Then maybe the quality would go up, or at least we
would have a choice to DEMAND QUALITY/STABLE software I.D.E. from
PROFESSIONALS!!!!
Anyone remember "Rumba", that use to put client access to shame? Yup, IBM
Trailing Edge technology, only perfects stuff when there is competition.
Maybe I need to create a new workspace AGAIN???? You are kidding me!
Right?!?!?!
No wonder no one else tries RDI in our shop, I am constantly screaming,
"RDI is BROKE AGAIN!!!"
After 9 years, my patience with RDI has been WORN-OUT...
Very Frustrated RDI user...
