Rational Developer for i 9.0

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• Content Assist on a field defined like a data structure subfield
  produces incorrect results.  The like could be based on a
  qualified file or qualified data structure.  The incorrect
  result may, as example, be shown as an "Unknown (0)" or
  "char (0)" field type when displayed with mouse-over of the
  field in the source in LPEX.

  * USERS AFFECTED: Users editing ILE RPG and using the new      *
  *                 live outline view support.                   *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Qualified names as LIKE parameter are   *
  *                      not handled in the live outline view.   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  If qualified names are used in the LIKE keyword when defining
  a field, the new live outline view does not properly compute
  the type of the new field.  This will affect other features
  dependent on this live model, such as Content Assist and
  hover.
  
  This problem is fixed in RDi 9.0
