Re: RDi 9.5 RPG Formatter (Ctrl+Shift+F) error:Formattingfailed: Nomodel available. -- WDSCI-L

Edmund,

Yes, I made sure the externally described file is in my lib list.

I can do better than just send you the source for the PF.

I’ve created the little test program, (including DDL to create file) that illustrates the issue (http://bit.ly/1WlpT9P <http://bit.ly/1WlpT9P>). The bottom line is that when instancing a DS from a DS-template based upon an externally defined file, where the template renames the external field names, the outline chokes.

If the template does not rename fields, or if the DS is defined without using the template, the outline works as expected.

Btw, when I say the outline doesn’t work, I mean that outline shows files and data structures up to and including the DS template, but nothing after that (ex. ‘Fields’, 'Indicators’, ‘Prototypes’, etc. are not displayed).

HTH.

John,
Are you sure that the PF/LF being referenced by the EXTFLD keywords is
found in your library list? If so, could you send me the PF source so I
can reproduce.

Edmund,

I went through an exercise of commenting out code in one of the source
members where the outline view was not correct until the outline view
populated correctly.

All of our RPGLE and SQLRPGLE programs /COPY in a source member that we
call VARS, which contains templates for our enterprise data types. One of
these templates is an external data structure where we are renaming
external field names, and when I comment out this template (or more
specifically the lines that rename external fields), the outline comes to
life.

This is the template causing the problem:

// Standard security parameter structure
D tSecPrmDS E DS extname(SECPRM)
D qualified inz template
D inJobNam E extfld(siJobS)
D inJobFtr E extfld(siJobF)
D inUser E extfld(siUser)
D inAuthCode E extfld(siAuth)
D inAskStore E extfld(siAskS)
D inStore E extfld(siCCod)
D inProbe E extfld(siProb)
D inWrkStn E extfld(siWsID)
D inLvlChk E extfld(siLevl)
D inChgStore E extfld(siChng)
D outUser E extfld(soUser)
D outStore E extfld(soCCod)
D outAuth E extfld(soGNoG)
D outDrwr E extfld(soDraw)
D outWrkStn E extfld(soWsID)
D outEmpNam E extfld(soEmpN)
D outEmpInit E extfld(soEmpI)
D outSlsMan E extfld(soSlmn)

When I comment out the ‘extfld’ lines, the outline works.

Odd thing is that with auto-update of the outline turned off, a manual
refresh of the outline works just fine.

HTH.

Edmund,

The indentation action is dependent on the live RPG model, so it will

work without the auto-update.

Good to know.

<snip>

If you are having problems with the
auto-updated outline, please let us know.

<snip>
in my case, with auto-outline turned on, the outline view only contains

“Files” and “Data Structures”. This is true for any of our free-format
RPGLE and SQLRPGLE source members, however our older fixed format OPM code
looks correct in the outline view.

When I switch off the auto-update of the outline view, then manually

update the outline, all sections are displayed as they did in RDi 9.1.1.1.

Thanks.

JJ
