Re: No *ESCAPE message on wrong compile command

Edmund,

Most of the time I compile objects interactively and hence I expected to
get a message dialog for a failing command much the same as on a command
line. For batch compiles I can use the iSphere Message Monitor.

But it might be worth to improve RDi to either display the "Error List"
or the "Commands Log" depending on the availability of *EVENTF entries.

We don't currently have an option to do that.
Would making the Commands Log view visible if a command (that does not have
*EVENTF) fails be sufficient.
The message box might be obtrusive and annoying.

Hi Vern,

The problem has nothing to do with the *EVENTF option. There are lots of
commands that do not have that option and I wonder how to get noticed by
RDi when such a command fails.

Today, I had a problem with a command of our change management system
that sent an *ESCAPE message, which was silently ignored by RDi. Then I
did additional tests and tried to compile a RPGLE source member with
CRTFOODCMD (which does not exist) and CRTTBL (which should not
understand a RPGLE source).

Guess what? Nothing happened what I tried to compile the module from an
RSE source member filter. That is really bad, when you are in a hurry
and you think that it compiled just fine.

At least I would like to see an option to enable a popup message box when:

* a command, that does not have specified *EVENTF, failed
* there is a typo in a custom compile command

The popup is not really necessary (maybe even annoying) when the command
created *EVENTF information.

Thomas.
