Re: WDSCI-L Digest, Vol 13, Issue 176

David,

I would open a PMR for this. The worst that can come of it would be them
telling you it would be an enhancement request. But (in my opinion) the
outline should handle this correctly. If it were merely inconvenient,
maybe it would be an enhancement. But the outline is providing erroneous
information.

[WDSCI-L] I spec field renames not showing in outline?

I opened an old program, written in RPG III but converted to RPG IV 11
years ago, in RDi 9.1.1.1 that has old-school I spec renames of fields,

for

example:

Ippr031s
I p4srvl p3srvl
I p4noplan p4nopl
I p4pcode p4pcod
I p4lrank p4rank
I p4ioqty p4ioqt

It looks like the live outline doesn't know what to do with these, since
(for example) p4srvl is not showing as renamed in the record format and
does show up in the fields list, and p3srvl does not show up in the

fields

list and shows as undefined in the C specs when I hover over it.

I tried switching to the static outline and found it doesn't handle the
renames correctly, either, so I'm assuming this is an old limitation. I
suppose I could fire up WDSCi 7.0 to check, but I don't have the time at
the moment.

So my question is, is this a defect that I should open a PMR for, or

would

fixing this be an enhancement?

Thanks!
