Darren, I suspect your method of access is taking you to the "local" (built-in) help. This hasn't been updated since 9.6.0.2, I believe. You'll also end up in the same place if you navigate,

HELP > HELP CONTENTS

However, if you press F1 as Vernon suggests, this will take you to the web-based help (IBM Knowledge Centre) which is up to date.

Very confusing, I admit. (Which is why I always download the latest PDF's from the Knowledge Centre and refer to these.)

You are correct. I can search the base help for %list and I found it. I and my coworkers usually look for BIF functions, doing the following. With an RPG member open, select Source, ILE RPG Help, Built in functions. That section looks like it hasn't been updated yet.

Darren,

Using RDI and the help, I was able to get the manual on the %list. So that worked.

Maybe you are talking about Code-Assist?

Using RDi, and having applied the latest TRs for i7.4, I'm wondering if there is a way to have RDi to provide "help" screens on the new BIFs, such as %list.
