Compare and merge RPG programs by line

Need an option to merge code line by line instead of copying the whole block of new lines when merging code. Use Case: A single program could be modified for different requirements. Each requirement would be in different stages of testing. PDM 55 ...

Add alignment function to report designer

The Screen Designer function includes an alignment feature--i.e., you can right-click on a field and select the alignment option (Left,Center,Right). The Report Designer does not include this function. Use Case: While in Report Designer, add a fie...

Tooltip for CL-Variables in Debug-Mode

In RPGLE the debugger is capable to show the contents of variables in a tooltip by selecting and hovering over its name. This functionality does not work for CLLE. Use Case: Any CLLE-program that needs to be debugged.

Create a check for bogus job descriptions and removed libraries

When an incorrect job description or a library associated with a job description is removed from the IBM i LPAR, this error occurs with RDi/RDp or RTC/RDi/RDp shell shared: RCQP3615E: The following error occurred while loading artifacts from the r...

Elminate excessive alarm sounds during entry of CL source

When entering a CL command and typing beyond column 80, an error sound is triggered for each character typed. This is superfluous when "Automatic formatting" is enabled as the text will not be truncated once the formatting takes place. The consist...

Scroll "Indentation" view along-side source view

It would be very beneficial to scroll the indentation view next to the source view. When viewing old fixed format programs, it's often helpful to see the indentation view. So, I read on the indentation view until I find the section of code that ne...

Ctrl+W not functional in RPG Indentaion View

RPG Indentation view acts like a read only view of the LPEX editor which is very nice. One feature you get is the LPEX find. When I find and select (as I al most always do) to Find All, I can see a condensed view of the source (like I expect). Whe...

RDi 9.0.1 LPEX Editor - Outline View indicator tree

The indicator tree is a very useful feature. However, we have found that not only does it show indicators from the RPG program, it also shows indicators from the associated DDS (display files and report files) from the F-specs. This is not necessa...

RDi 9.0.1 Table View - navigation

When clicking in the Table View area, we must be extremely careful not to accidentally change a source member name. We are used to positioning, like in the Remote Systems tree view (and Windows Explorer), by typing a few characters of the member w...

RDI 9.0.1 Outline View - DDS indicator list

When in the LPEX editor, there is an outline view that shows lists of fields, indicators, etc., when in an RPG source member. This is an excellent pane of information. However, we are not finding an indicator list when working on a DDS source memb...
