Please expand content assist for SQLRPGLE programs

I use content assist to help develop SQLRPGLE programs with embedded SQL. I think it would helpful if the content assist was expanded. Most notably the SQL FETCH statement only presents a generic option. It would be helpful if there was a way to specify the positioning of the cursor such as

FETCH FIRST FROM [cursor] INTO :variable

Also I noticed the OPEN and CLOSE commands are not available in content assist. OPEN is a short command to type (4 characters), but it would be nice to add those as well.


Use Case:

I use the content assist feature in RDi a lot for developing RPG code. The content assist is a valuable tool for cutting down on the time it takes to key in code and ensures that commands and parameters are keyed in properly.

    Sorry, I did not know you could add more templates. This meets my needs now. Sorry for the trouble. You can cancel this request.

    For content assist of SQLRPGLE, the available templates are shown including one for FETCH. There is a preference page where the templates can be modified and new templates created. The preference page is Remote Systems>Remote Systems LPEX Editor>IBM i Parsers>ILE RPG>Templates. You should be able to create/modify templates for the SQL FREE-FORM context including the FETCH that you mention plus OPEN and CLOSE if you want. Does this satisfy your needs?
