Name of created LPAR profile should be changeable

Some customers have naming conventions also for the name of the LPAR profiles. Today the default name for a profile of a deployed LPAR is "default_profile". This should be changeable - at least in a config file, but better individually in a comput...

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...

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...

Support Content Assist on CLP control flow structure IF–THEN–ELSE.

It would be very helpful to be able to use content assist with CTRL+SPACE for complex structures like IF?THEN?ELSE for CLP inside Rational Developer for i. Eclipse uses this feature natively in Java and other languages. Programmers who are experie...
