I too wish it were more solid like Microsoft products. Such as VSCode. Concur!

My Microsoft co-workers laughed at IBM Data Studio. Where is the code assist? Not intuitive at all.

No wonder our databases are being converted over to Microsoft Sequel. They have the Modern Enterprise tools for modern development.<sad face>

I still have to use Alt+S to split lines in the LPEX editor. Such as to split lines in "Exec SQL" code....
Imagine telling a Microsoft Developer use shortcut key "Alt+S" to split a line. Or use Ctrl+Shift_M to find a matching brace. At least I got them to laugh. <eye roll>

Still better than SEU. And supports **Free format and code-assist, color syntax, outline view, etc...

Still "trailing edge" technology through. Just better than Green Screen editor with 19 viewable lines of code. <weak smile>

Eclipse is a bubble-gum and duct-tape of frameworks/plugins.

How I wish we could have gotten Profound Logic software 12-years ago, before they started down the Microsoft path. Our some other GUI solution with IBM i. (a.k.a. the Univac-PunchCard-400). Just too late... <Big Frown>

When RDI works properly, it is the best thing EVER!

Compared to SEU maybe, but RDi/Eclipse is positively stone-age compared to a modern editor like VSCode, for example. Having recently bought a new PC I've just had the dubious pleasure of reinstalling RDi, it's safe to say I can think of better ways to spend an hour or more. Installing or updating anything from IBM is a painful and frustrating processes compared to installing Node, VSCode, Git or just about every other piece of software I can think of.

Greg,

You have my pity.

I do export my personal preferences, which gets approximate 99%, but not all of the settings. It is pretty good, but NOT 100%

I have to save my old workspaces, to compare and find setting that I have missed.

And with each release, things that worked in a previously release. Suddenly stop working in the new release.

Oh well, I need to get "Use to this"...

Like you, I do NOT have the time to open PMR.

I should not be surprised; all the vendors I work with do the same thing. Not just IBM. I have to "PROVE" that their software is broken. I have to be their "Beta-Tester". And yet, my Microsoft boss requires me to do "Code-Coverage" and RPG-UNIT like they do in the Microsoft world. Something called "Quality-Control".

Sorry, I have jumped off that bandwagon too! So, anyway, you are NOT the ONLY ONE, who encounters these problems.

When RDI works properly, it is the best thing EVER! But, when it is NOT stable, not functioning properly, it can drive anyone nuts...

Clear cache, restart, reboot, create new workspace, start with -clean. It is easier to do that, than be a beta-tester for the vendor.

Sad, but true. At least it takes less time...

Isn't' RDI a "wonderful Time Saver"? <sarcasm> When it works, it is the best! But, when it fails, it cause me to pull out handfuls of hair!

Maha,

I can open a PMR provided I'm not asked to recreate and/or delete my workspace... this seems to be the "goto solution" for everything. I do not have the time to recreate all of my personal preferences, filters, user actions, etc.

I opened a PMR for this very issue several versions back... the issue was not resolved.

Greg,
Can you please open a PMR so that we can ensure that this issue is investigated.

Thanks,

Most of mine are not **FREE. Sometimes they are the old fixed format

I am curious to know of those that report the outline sticking at 66% are these programs coded in **FREE,SQLRPGLE?

I have seen more parser problems using **FREE.
