Edmund,
I appoogize I did not notice you had updated this again. I did not get a notification message. Anyway I have attached source that will demonstrate my outline issue when automatic outline is active.

Matt, one thing I can suggest, but I cannot guarantee any response, is to attach your RPG source to this RFE as well as a SAVF of the DB files it is depending on.
Matt, we have just received a new PMR that is similar to this. I will fix that and I hope that it addresses your problem. Someone else is getting UNKNOWN even after a refresh. Without reproducing materials, I can only be 80% confident your issue is solved, so if you want to be sure your specific problem is addressed, then open a PMR. But an RFE is the wrong mechanism to get this problem addressed. Consequently, we will be closing this RFE.
I did more testing and allof the "unknown(0)" outline references I am finding are pointing to F-spec DB fields. I can see the source field + file in the outline. I can press Refresh many times and these problem items still show as "unknown(0)".
Turning off automatic outline, close then re-open member, caused one of the problem items (a DS with like sub fields) to not appear but then a subsequent refresh the item appeared. Other problem references appeared after the first refresh of the outline.
I close the member, turn on automatic outline, re-open the member and lookin the outline for the problem items and they have gone back to "unknown(0)".
This RFE is consistent with our strategy and product roadmap and IBM is continuing to evaluate.
This issue is not directly related to refreshed RFE.
I do not have authority to create PMRs.
I was having extreme delays working with RDP and my system in general so I made adjustments to make it behave (turned off automatic outline) and then had to reboot my system. After my system and RDP was back up again, (automatic outline off) I refreshed the outline and the like() fields now show definitions.
I turned on automatic outline on again then restarted RDP and the like() fields are still showing definitions.
Status updated to "Need More Information".
Matt, this sounds like a PMR. But before you go through the trouble of opening one, can you just answer a couple of things.
1) Is this the same problem described by RFE http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=30126
Be sure to read my comments on that to get a full picture of what is going wrong there.
2) Please tell me what the LIKE keywords are referring to. Are they fields from a database. Are you sure that database is found in the LIBL? When you expand the files in the outline view, do you see LSLOAN, LSSHARES, etc.
