Re: Delay in saving

Jerry,

When saving your source, there's a message in the lower-right of the display that says "Synchronizing Resources" (with a little progress bar next to it.)  You need to wait for this to be completed... this, essentially, means that it is uploading the changed source to your IBM i.  If you don't wait for it to finish, you'll still have the old code on your IBM i.

If by "Scott's preprocessor", you mean the BUILD tool that I published years ago, it was designed from the ground-up to work properly with RDi.

1) Have the appropriate source type open (for example, RPGLE, SQLRPGLE, whatever you want to use it with)

2) Click the Compile menu at the top of RDi, followed by Compile / Work With Compile Commands.

3) Add an entry with label "BUILD", and a command like "BUILD OBJ(&O/&N) SRCFILE(&L/&F) SRCMBR(&N) REPLACE(&R) OPTION(*EVENTF)"

Add to each source type, et al, that you want to use it for.

I do a ctrl/s to save source and jump to my PDM session to compile. (Yes, I know about compiling through RDi but we use scott's preprocessor to add commands in comment section)
The compile does NOT contain my changes. If I wait to say 15 seconds and compile again the changes are there.
