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
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

This RFE has been re-evaluated. Due to the relatively low number of votes, this RFE is now being declined.
Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
Brand - Servers and Systems Software
Product family - Programming Languages
Product - Developer for Power Systems
For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
Brand - Rational
Product family - Design & development
Product - Developer for Power Systems
PLEASE allow it to be turned off. Can't have RDP locked up doing a verify that long...
This RFE will be under consideration for a future release. Status has been updated to Uncommitted Candidate.
Thank you for providing the additional information that we requested. This RFE is consistent with our strategy and product roadmap and IBM is continuing to evaluate.
First of all, thanks for your attention. I think that the line syntax check is good, but it will be really great if after any chance in the source, RDp automatically executes the source verification (I usually do it pressing Ctrl+Shift+V). This will reduce the time needed in correcting errors after a long programming session. Syntax checking is only that: a syntax check mechanism but it doesn't give any further details of the errors like missing fields definitions or undefined variables.
Just to clarify this request, could you please let us know what IBM i languages you are interested in for this support?
Also the current support for ILE RPG is for the syntax check errors to be displayed after you have entered your code on a line and then move to the next line. Is this insufficient compared to seeing the errors as you type?
This RFE is consistent with our strategy and product roadmap and IBM is continuing to evaluate.
