RELATED IDEAS

Double-click include "*" for *blank/*off/*on

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

When you double-click on a source element in RPG when using IBM's Rational Developer for i, it normally knows what to highlight (variable, keyword, etc). With the special values of *blank, *off and *on, it highlights only the text and ignores the asterisk. This can cause the asterisk to be lost when doing copy-and-paste or drag-and-drop. When you double-click one of those special values, it should include the asterisk.


Use Case:

For example, I'm currently refactoring some SQLRPGLE code. I'm doing a lot of double-check then drag-and-drop. Every time I need to do one of these special values, I have to stop and manually highlight.

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

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.

    I'm all for this RFE. I would also like to see the enhancement include the asterisk in other scenarios--i.e., any value prefaced (or perhaps even followed) by an asterisk in CL, etc.
