IBM Power Ideas Portal


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).

LPEX Editor should support the IFS file system on the IBM i for open or browse of /copy files

In Rational Developer for i is a function for opening /COPY
and /INCLUDE files by pointing at the source line where the
copy is definded, right clicking and choosing Source >
/COPYmember > Edit. This is working only when the Source is
stored at a special point in QSYS file system.

Therefore I would recommend implementing this function to
work for files stored in IFS too. Rational Developer is
already accessing these ifs files for content assist and
outline view. It would be great if lpex is searching for the
copy files in the same way content assist and outline view
does for finding and opening them by the above described way!


Use Case:

Trying to open a /copy file from the ILE RPG source
