The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

it seems to me that the support of RDi for sources in stream files is not
so good as for sources in source files. I detected that when opening a
stream file in LPEX editor the stream file will not be locked. When opening
members in source files the members will be locked.
That's not how stream file editors work.
Instead, they warn you if a file has been changed outside the editor by
some other process.
The way this works on local editors is notification callbacks provided by
the operating system.
Of course, that doesn't work for RDi because no such callback is available
remotely.
On the other hand, RDi *could* warn you when you go to save if the file has
been changed outside the editor and offer to save a backup.
This sort of thing is normal in modern programming and there is no user
expectation that a stream file will be locked for editing.
"Lock while I'm editing" is a relic of primitive revision control practices
of 30 years ago.
If you're doing stream file editing of RPGLE source and you're *not*
checking in your code, it's not RDi that's broken :)
