Nesting shortcuts (c-s-m & c-s-o)

The current function of the nesting shortcuts Ctrl-Shift-M and Ctrl-Shift-O will only work if the cursor is positioned on the IF/END or DO/ENDDO or SELECT/ENDSL statement. These two shortcuts should also allow positioning on the related ELSE or WHEN/OTHER statements to perform their function.


Use Case:

The IF/END or DO/ENDDO or SELECT/ENDSL block could be several hundred lines. The ELSE and WHEN/OTHER statement could be buried deep withing the block and not obvious to the user where the beginning or end is located. This would help identify where in the code the user is within the associated block.

    This feature is now available in the IBM Rational Developer for i V9.6 product with V9.6.0.2 fixpack installed.

    Improved Show Block Nesting (Ctrl-Shift-O) to include support for being invoked from ELSE, WHEN and OTHER op-codes. Up to 15 levels of nesting can now be displayed.

    An additional improvement on this would be that ctrl-shift-O on a non block op code should show the nesting of the block containing the line with the cursor. That is it would find the IF/DO/FOR/SELECT/SR/PROC block that immediately contains the line with the cursor, and display its nesting.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
