Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

RDI: Not all record formats specified with include are shown in outline

When specifying include for more than 1 recordformat in the F-specifications only the first record format is shown.

For example the logical file MyFileL1 has the record formats MyFileR1,
MyFileR2 and MyFileR3.

If you have this specification:
FMyFileL1 IF E K DISK include(MyFileR2)
F include(MyFileR3)

then only MyFileR2 is shown in the outline.


If you use "ignore" like this
FMyFileL1 IF E K DISK ignore(MyFileR1)

then both record formats are shown (MyFileR2 and MyFileR3)

There are references to MyFileR2 and MyFileR3 in the code.


Use Case:

See in description
I'm using RDI Version: 9.5.1.2

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