Re: Next release

Is there a way to make ignoring whitespace the default?
I do compares so rarely that when I do want to do a compare, I end up right-clicking everywhere to try and find out to get rid of the whitespace compare.  If I could set it in a property that'd be great.    If that's not possible currently, I can enter an RFE.   Then again, for me it would be a low priority since I rarely use it.

Hi Mark

The RFE link is found here https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/

Ignoring whitespace in compare is already available.  If you right click in the compare, you should see the option to ignore whitespace.
Compare not merging on RSE is a valid known issue.  But surprisingly no one has submitted an RFE.  I encourage you to open it, and for people to vote on it, as I do consider it important.


Support for ENPTUI keywords is under this RFE
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=53826
 (not see that much demand, expensive to implement, and so not on the
radar)
Support for AFPDS keywords is under this RFE
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=17979
 it has already been declined as beyond our ability to contain and insufficient demand.

The final issue with horizontal subfiles and windows seems like a bug, please open a PMR and we should be able to address.

To the developers of RDi,

For the next release of RDi, it would be nice if you would work on some of the picky little things that kinda work but not really. Here is a partial
list:

Source Compare feature - Doesn't always compare nicely, particularly if one source member has a bunch of spaces at the end of lines, and the other does not. Not real sure how that happens, just that it does. And why does the i Projects perspective source compare tool have the ability apply changes from one source to the other, but not the RSE tool? Seems a little silly to me for that feature to be missing from RSE since it is so useful.

Screen/Report designer - I hate to call any DDS keywords new features as there really hasn't been anything added for quite some time, but it would be nice if the Screen/Report designer would support "newer" keywords. Quite a few things work better than they did with CODE, but not. Pushbuttons render as a 2 digit field rather than the pushbutton. Better than CODE that didn't render anything, but still not much help. AFP and IPDS keywords like Barcode and line do not render nicely, and even Font does not render properly (RDi is a GUI, and should be able to render these things).
Position would be harder, but just about anything would be nicer than everything being placed at 1,1. And what is with the problems with a horizontal subfile not rendering properly when it is contained in a window.
the subfile flows past the edge of the window, out to the edge of the screen.
