Enhancements on Integrated Help System

Developer should be able to access Help contents by simply clicking F1 not only on RPG statements but also on other general commands used in CL.


Use Case:

As an example you can have a look at a very simple CL example available on OS4 system (9.71.196.33, needs IBM Intranet Authentication) - library PROVEOO - srcfile QCLSRC - member PROVACLLE -> command ovrdbf (it exists in Help contents but when F1 is clickes Help does not open automatically)

    Could you please provide more information on what you would like to see.
    Previously there was a problem that the CL help did not display. However that has been fixed in the latest product so that now you get the detailed help for individual CL commands when you press F1 and it automatically opens in a browser. However, the help comes from the system help for the CL command so it does not allow you to synchronize to the CL help that is available in the help contents.

    So if it does open to the correct help as is working today, is that sufficient?
    Or are you looking for help integrated with the help content?
