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).


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:

Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

Post your ideas
  1. Post an idea.

  2. Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.

  3. Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

Show SQL referenced items in Outline View

Tables, views, and columns referenced in embedded SQL do not appear in the Outline View.


Use Case:

**free

ctl-opt dftactgrp(*no);

dcl-s table char(10);
dcl-s lib char(10);
dcl-s text char(50);

// table exists on every system
exec sql
declare pgmr_owns cursor for
select table_name, table_schema, table_text
from qsys2.systables
where table_owner = 'QPGMR'
order by table_schema, table_name
;

exec sql
open pgmr_owns;

exec sql
fetch next
from pgmr_owns
into :table, :lib, :text;

// force a reference
dsply table;
dsply lib;
dsply text;

// only need one row for the demo
exec sql
close pgmr_owns;

*inlr = *on;

The outline view has no references for
SYSTABLES (table)
TABLE_NAME (column)
TABLE_SCHEMA (column)
TABLE_TEXT (column)
PGMR_OWNS (cursor)

    This RFE is a duplicate of another RFE82166. See https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=82166 for current status.

    This should be extended to include all SQL source types--e.g., COBOL, C, CPP, etc.
