PH37146: RATIONAL PROGRAMMING PATTERN 9.7.0 : REMOVAL OF SNIPPETS FOR MICROPATTERNS CAUSES NEED FOR EXTERNAL DOCUMENTATION.

Rational Programming Patterns Interim Fix 10 for 9.7
Rational Programming Patterns Interim Fix 5 for 9.7.1

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• In RPP 9.7.0, removal of snippets for micropatterns causes
  the need for external documentation.
  
  The snippets for *!AD & *!W described what each
  parameter should be and how to use them.
  
  The replacement seems to be using content assist, but the
  description in them does not detail what each parameter is
  or the possible variables.
  Also, content assist for adding variables only works if you
  know the first two characters of the variable you want to
  add.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * All RPP users using micropatterns to maintain their COBOLs.  *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * Since the 9.7 version, the snippet view does not contain any *
  * RPP micropattern. To insert micropattern, the only way is to *
  * use the content assist. RPP should propose both ways.        *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
