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).

Add the possibility to define user-variables for templates (e.g. User-Name, Department, aso) as it is possible for Snippets!

We are using snippets for creating new source-members. We want to replace them by templates.

If we can define our own variables for the instance of RDi, we can automate the creation of source-members.

We think that would be helpfull for a lot of companies.

    The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a high priority requirement that is important to be addressed. Any enhancment that would make the developer's life easier, and speed up their productivity would be beneficial.


    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

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