RELATED IDEAS

in RDi have the ability to use F3 in a COBOL source program

When developing and troubleshooting programs in RDi within an RPGLE program, the ability to jump to a subprocedure using F3 and returning with the "Alt + Arrow key" is a great feature.
Request modifications be made to the development tool to allow this same feature in a COBOL program to jump to Paragraph names.


Use Case:

Reviewing COBOL programs that can be quite large, with many Paragraphs, the ability to Jump to a specific Paragraph or return from a Paragraph would be very helpful in new program and especially with debugging a program that you are not familiar with.

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