IFS includes not added to outline and content assist

LPEX editor/outline/content assist: If an include from the IFS is included into a source code/program then its content is not included into the information of the outline and is not accessible through content assist (ctrl+space), even when I specifiy the complete/absolut path to the stream file.


Use Case:

/include '/usr/local/include/json/json_h.rpgle'

    Sorry. But I no longer have a license for RDP and can no longer validate this.

    This appears to work for RDP 8.0 with the 8.0.0.3 update.
    Can you please let us know if this being tried on the latest release?

    Also can you try a (Program) Verify on the source member. Are there errors in the error list that indicate the IFS include file could not be opened? (File missing, or authority problem?)
    If not, then is it a case that only some of the fields from the include are not being shown? Maybe getting an older version of the IFS file from the RDP cache?
    You can also Verify with Prompt, and specify the Generate-Listing & Show-Copy options, then look at the listing to see what content was included.
    This information would help us investigate the issue.

    Also, it may be appropriate to open this as a PMR.
