Re: Decorators for files and file fields in the RDi source outline?

Hi Dan


Yeah, I used to use a plugin David Gibbs created that put decorations on objects. It might even be what is in iSphere. I ended up not using it much, as it really slowed down some things I do, like build the list in Compare to file.


I do see some value in adding descriptions in the Outline, so I suggest you submit an Idea to IBM - what used to be called RFE. You do need an IBM ID - free, and you can tell them not to bug you with emails. Use this link - https://ibm-power-systems.ideas.ibm.com/ - there is a category for RDi and a link to add new Ideas.

Hi Vern,

The "decorators" iSphere provides in the RSE are the object descriptions. So, where you might see just

AR0134RG.sqlrpgle

in the RSE, the iSphere decorators adds the object description, so that you'll see

AR0134RG.sqlrpgle - "Upload C.E. submission files to IFS"

So, I am hoping there's something similar available for files and file fields in the outline:

CUSTMAST : DISK EXTDESC('*LIBL/CUSTMAST') - "Customer Master"

And

CMADR1 : CHAR(50) - "Customer Address Line 1"

Hi Dan

I had to go take a look - in the outline I see icons on each item - I suppose those are "decorators". Same icon for any kind of file, any kind of field. Following the name are some of the attributes. Those icons are small enough that I don't really care, can't tell much, anyhow.

Does that qualify?

Cheers
Vern

I found iSphere's object decorators for the RSE perspective. Wondering if there are "decorators" for files and file fields in the RDi source outline.
