Submitting an RFE -- WDSCI-L

IBM changed the categories for RDi. To submit an RFE using the drop downs, select "I want to specify the brand, product family, and product" and select these options:

Brand: Servers and Systems Software
Product family: Programming Languages
Product: Developer for Power Systems
Component: RPG/COBOL Development Tools
Operating system: Windows

Gee, I am trying to enter in a RFE, and it does not work...
<frown>

Component & operating system are required. And yet, I am NOT allowed to select from the drop-down-combo-box....

Very strange, since the drop-down-combo-box worked on "Priority"....

Maybe because I am using Chrome, I don't know.

Oh well, I am probably the only person who uses RDI, and needs to see variables over 4,095 characters in length. At least STRDBG at the command line NEVER fails me. So, probably not important to put it in anyway. Already sent an email telling the developers to STRDBG at the command line, if they need to be able to view VARCHAR or CHAR over 4,095 characters in size... <sigh>

Is there any work instruction on how to submit an RFE?

Start at the Developerworks page: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/

Click the Submit tab near the top.

In the 'Product' box, put 'Developer for Power Systems'.

In the 'Component' box, I use RPG/COBOL Development Tools.

In 'Operating system, I put Windows.

In 'Source' I leave it 'None'.

If you want to search, don't filter the brand as 'Rational' - filter the brand as 'Servers and Systems Software', the product 'Developer for Power Systems' and click the right-facing arrow.

Whoops,

The spelling has to be EXACT... <LOL>

In the 'Product' box, put 'Developer for Power Systems'.

The good folks at IBM, gave me the correction! <Joy Joy>. And then the combo-boxes worked after I spelled that correctly!
<Big Smile>

PS. got RFE 77798 - See variable bigger than 4,095 characters in RDI Debug

Into the system! <smile>
