Add edit/browse capability for called programs similar to copy books

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

When editing a CL or RPG source member in RDi, it would be cool if you could right click on a called program in that source and edit/browse that program in a new tab. This would perform similar to when you right click on a copy book. The LPEX editor shows you a short view of the source when you hover over the copy book or you can right click on it and either browse or edit that copy book.


I think there are two possible scenarios to consider:

  1. I think this is the most common scenario. You right click on a called program - a CL or RPGLE or SQLRPGLE. Have two options; browse or edit the source member. This scenario would work identical to right clicking on a copy book.

  2. When right clicking on a called program that happens to be compiled of multiple modules, then bring up the 'Open member in editor' dialog box and default the program into the member box. At that point, the developer is not only tipped off that that called program is made up of multiple modules, but also then prompted to further direct which source member they want to browse/edit.

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