Display a timestamp in the Error List header to indicate when the currently displayed messages were retrieved

When compiling a source member yields identical results to the previous compile - typically when there are no errors - it is impossible to tell that another compile has occurred. Under several circumstances, a compile may not actually occur when requested, however there is no indication in the Error List that the view is stale. The error list header currently displays the name of the EVFEVENT member from which messages were retrieved. If a timestamp of that retrieval were also to be displayed there, this would be unequivocal proof that a compile had produced the same output as previously, rather than the user is looking at stale data.

    The CAAC has reviewed this IBM Idea and recommends that IBM not implement this request.

    Review the Command Log window to review if your compiler has completed successfully.

    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 IBM Ideas on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your Idea.

    Achieving the same goal of denoting for the programmer that the error list has changed, the list could be cleared when the compile is submitted. Then when you glance down at the list, if there are any messages present, it is a fresh list. AND with the added benefit of the list suddenly filling in being visually noticable while you are viewing some other content.

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