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.
