Thank you for taking the time to suggest this enhancement to our product and for your votes.
The ctrl-hover that was implemented in 8.5.1 has satisfied this request.
A mouse-hover over a constant to get the value would satisfy me.
Kurt,
Content Assist is not usual used to look up constant values in the Eclipse way of thinking. Would something like hitting a key /context menu to navigate to the definition (could always jump back) or even better, showing a hover that would contain the definition of the constant, meet this requirement?
This RFE is consistent with our strategy and product roadmap and will be under consideration for a future release. Status has been updated to Uncommitted Candidate.
True, I had RPGLE in mind.
This RFE is consistent with our strategy and product roadmap and IBM is continuing to evaluate.
We are assuming that this RFE is a request for an ILE RPG Content Assist enhancement and not ILE COBOL.
