Error description

  • When editing ILE RPG source in Rational Developer for i, one can
    select a field name and perform the Refactor > Rename action
    (ALT + SHIFT + R) to rename all instances of that name in the
    source. The rename action fails to rename an instance of the
    target name that appears as part of an arithmetic expression for
    the index of a parent data structure qualifier of a subfield.
    
    For example, it fails to rename FLDX in MYDS(FLDX + 5).SUBFLD
    That instance of the target name also fails to show up in the
    line references for that name in the RPG Outline view.
