Re: Hovering on a function, help text

Hi Steve, our code is not **FREE so we only use 80 columns, but since then
line length is 100 char we use comments longer than 80. The missing part is
in comments not in the code itself.

Anyway I see the hover comes from prototype not from the procedure
declaration. I can say it since in the procedure declaration we only put a
simple comment to visually split procedures and what I see is the (almost)
complete help text in the prototype.

TIA

Hi Marco,

I tried creating a procedure name with longer than 80 characters and it's
shows up in the hover on Windows on version 9.6.0.6.

I'd suggest contacting IBM support if the full name is not displaying for
you so we can take a peek.

Thanks!

Steve Ferrell

Macro,

Try pulling the corner of the pop-up box to enlarge it. That usually
works for me.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Hovering on a function, help text

Hi all, I'm on RDI 9.6.0.6.

When I hover over a function, RDI retrieve the full prototype
definition and the preceding comments (help text). Very nice and
useful but I ask myself if the fact it's reporting only the first 80
characters is a bug or there is an option somewhere controlling this
behavior?

TIA
