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).

Refresh CL outline on save

The CL outline is static unlike the RPG outline. This is understandable. However, even the COBOL outline refreshes when the source member is saved.

When editing CL and then compiling, you cannot navigate directly to a label or subroutine until you refresh the outline. It would be helpful to refresh the outline whenever the source member is saved.


Use Case:

Edit a CL source member. Submit a compile. Test the compiled CL. Testing indicates some code needs to be refined. Click on the label or subroutine name in the outline. The editor should then position to that label or outline. (Currently, the editor positions to the place in the CL where the label or subroutine used to be located. Depending on the amount of code added since the last time the outline was refreshed, this can be challenging.)

    We have reviewed this requirement and we feel it would be a beneficial enhancement to the product. We hope to be able to add it to our development plans in the future.

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