Hi Mike,
You are so right. That is what I have learned working as a bridge between our company and various support desks. Do not just say "it does not work". Always add an example (source) and a step by step description how to reproduce the problem. That often takes noticable time, but the quality of the response is a lot better.
Thomas.

Hi Thomas,
Quite right. It is yet another case where the bold statement of "it doesn't work" is not a clear problem definition and a reminder that being concise in the problem statement and providing an example or steps right off would lead to a faster solution?

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [WDSCI-L] RDi 9.8.0.1 & @IGNORE Almost correct. It seems to work for standalone fields but not for sub-fields of data structure:
// @ignore-unused
dcl-s unusedField char(10); // works
// @ignore-unused // does not remove unsed markers of the $$fkey sub-fields dcl-ds *N;
scrnFKeys char(18) dim(32) inz; // this field is used
// @ignore-unused
$$FKey01 char(18) pos(1); // $$fkeys are unused and the marker cannot be removed
$$FKey02 char(18) pos(19);

If you add a comment line before the unused use with @ignore-unused it does not supress the blue bang for the unused symbol?
Like:
// @ignore-unused
dcl-pr TESTDBG end-pr;
