Wow! Code-assist works with select when statement with parentheses! <thumbs up>

Just does NOT seem to work with "IF"/"Function" with parentheses. Oh well, maybe in the future! <Finger Crossed>
How I wish RDi would catch up to Microsoft technology! :)
Oh well, trailing edge, instead of bleeding edge... :(

Arco,
Thanks!
My company laptop has Symantec endpoint 14.0.
I cleared my cache, restart it with "-clean". Then reboot rdi.
Then re-open my member source. Re-compiled. Closed out-line view. And manually rebuilt outline view.
And it still does NOT work for me. Oh well..
I wonder what is different?
I have notice if I completely type my data structure name. Then yes, code-Assist does work in parentheses! WooHoo!
But, normally, I get code-assist on the data-structure name too. Like this:

So, I get "HALF" code-assist in the parentheses in "IF-Statements" & "functions"... Oh well... Live & learn the limitations of RDI. Does not work in all circumstances for Code Assist.
I just hope that one day, RDI catches up to Visual Studio in Code-Assist technology.
Oh well, drives me crazy... Just keep trucking on... :)
Get code assist without the parentheses, and then edit my code to add "IF" or "FUNCTON" after code-assistance. Another work around for little limitations inside of RDI. Oh well. Microsoft Visually Studio does not have that limitation. But, they have many more years of experience with IDE. Eventually, IBM will catch up! :)

Hi Ken,
Also tried a datastructure which worked also. I noticed the dotted lines in your sourcepicture, which indicate that a begin/end is not complete. Also tried that and it still works for me.

Arco,
Okay a picture might help:
https://imgur.com/a/4WxDuFF
So, my actual variable is qualified Data-structure, and I was trying to get help on the variable:
Driver_Appt.Success. (I made up the example of "myVariable" to keep it
simple.)
It works outside of parentheses. But does not work within parentheses.
I do know for FACT, that parentheses are allowed syntax in RPGLE.
But, I cannot get code-assist on variables inside of functions/procedures either! Sad...

In this example above, I am trying to get code-assistance on the variable: "Driver_Appt.errorMessage"...
Works PERFECT outside of the function, but inside the function it does NOT WORK. Oh well...
I guess I CANNOT expect it to work like Microsoft Visual Studio. I sadly admit, I expect too much. I need to have patient until it catches up. Or use code assistant on another line, and then cut & paste. Oh well...
But, when code-assist works it is AWESOME!
The OUTLINE-VIEW is 100% accurate. It is not a case of the outline build not refreshed! Oh well...
Patience... I need patience...
So, not to be all Negative, here is work on separate Line!

PS. I mistakenly thought code-assistance was supposed to be a timesaver. Not a frustration point. Oh well...
It spoils me, and then it does not work with parentheses? Oh well...
Manage expectations... Oh well.. It is not as good as Microsoft Visual Studio. But, they have been at the IDE game a whole lot longer. So, it will take a long time for RDI to catch up to Microsoft Visual Studio. I understand that... Oh well...
