Re: RDi 9.1 Can LPEX Outline show only prototypes referenced by source?

I've refrained from commenting on this RFE system because the IBM guys on
here are so helpful, and I don't want them to be shunned from participating
here. I'm going to unrefrain for a moment, because I really like RDi, and
I'd like to see exciting improvement in product releases.  The RFE should
be a system that supplies ideas to a team for additions to the
brainstorming process.  It should not be, as its my impression that it is,
the sole system for providing leadership in product development.  I recall
a few times, when someone from IBM said, that's a great idea, but I can't
work on it until it gets enough votes in the RFE system.  If that's the way
it is, the RFE system should be open to the development team, and they
should be some of the primary contributors.

Also, the RFE system is not a good system.  I have an idea, and someone
else also had that idea, but if I don't word it the same way, or come at it
from a different perspective, the two will never see each other.

So, in conclusion, if RFE is the primary driver of product enhancement
initiatives, it needs to be a whole lot better than it currently is, and it
really needs visionary leadership, not crowd leadership.

Don't give up hope, Kurt.  That RFE has been very close to the cutoff mark
many times over the years.
Hopefully it will get a few more votes this time.

Hi Michael

I have a request from 7/11 (wow, many years ago now, not looking good for
getting implemented...) for the ability to filter out unreferenced
variables/procedures/etc in the outline.
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=12353

Request 10188 was for searching within the outline, which was
implemented/delivered.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] RDi 9.1 Can LPEX Outline show only prototypes referenced

With a whole bunch of prototypes in the same /copy member, the outline view
shows all of them.  Is there a way to filter out the ones for procedures
not called?  I can identify the useful ones by expanding each one and
noticing those that show a source line number, but that's a bit laborious.
I saw a reference to this issue from April 2014 in a thread about RFE
10188.  Did that result in a preference that can be set somewhere?
The outline view has a "type filter text" input box, but I can't find any
mention of that in the help, so I don't know how I would make use of that
to exclude unused prototypes in the way I'd like.

Thanks.
