Re: Out Line issues

Hi Kerwin,

In 9606 we did add a new toggle outline feature, but it's shipped off. Perhaps you selected it on.

The fastest way to find RPGLE preferences (in 9606) is to click on the small down arrow on the outline view and select Preferences. On that same drop-down menu is an option to "Select current procedure or subroutine". My guess is on the one misbehaving, it's selected. Un-select it and you should see the behavior you want.

You can find the same preference in ILE RPG Preferences panel.

The current procedure or subroutine will still display if you have "Show current procedure or subroutine in editor" displayed. This feature is shipped turned on by default and is accessed only on the Preferences panel.

It could also be that on one of your perspectives you have that "Hide un-referenced definitions". This hides some "un-used" references in the outline. (This one trips me up all the time.)

Hope this helps!

Steve

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Out Line issues

I am running version 9.6.0.6 of RDI
I am running two work spaces at the same time.
In one perspective I get one behavior that I don't like. I want it to behave like the other. So that leads me to the Preferences. But I cannot find it.
Here is an example data structure in the Remote Systems Explorer outline view.

Global Definitions

I have '711(m)' higlighted in the outline and the editor is on that line.
I click on 'ClaimDate in the outline. The editor positions to that line in the dcl section. And the outline positions me to the 'Main Procedure'. My other work space leaves the outline positioned on the 'ClaimDate'.

Where is that control?

Very frustrating when you lose your place in the outline.
