Re: No outline for one sqlrpgle source in RDi 9.1

It isn't just yellow triangles on the left - I'm on 9.5 and see blocks on the right - I think they are yellow - had a source member that showed no outline. There was some curious issue, I forget, but it had that right-side stuff.

I think it also the squiggly line under some records - these indicate something funky, like and ENDIF missing.

I think any of these can block the outline being shown or updated.

Check for yellow triangles with exclamation points on the left. These
indicate a syntax error that the live parser couldn't work through.

I did scroll through the whole 4,740 line source after running the verifier looking for those, and saw none.

... I recall issues with /copy members in earlier versions. The
point of that being this: if there's a /copy in your library that's
different to the one in the production library, that might be the
difference.

That just might be it. I'll look at that, and get back to you.

... add *CRTBNDRPG as a condition name to the verifier.

Defines I also found a thread in 2012 that covers the same thing:

Thanks for the tip. If I find it to be more than an occasional annoyance, I'll do just that.

This one defies explanation - so far at least. On occasion, I need to

browse a source member from one of our production libraries, and for this
member only (as far as I've encountered), I can't get an outline.

What makes it most peculiar is that I can copy that source to a source

file in my own library, and the outline is fine.

Sometimes I can find the cause by running the verifier, but in this

case, the verifier only shows two sev 20 errors that are bogus: "Keywords
DFTACTGRP, ACTGRP, or USRPRF are not allowed." (I get this routinely in
v9.1 from the verifier for SQLRPGLE members that compile fine).

I used to be plagued by this, but Barbara (at least I think it was she!)
posted on this list to add *CRTBNDRPG as a condition name to the verifier.
