SE57177: RDI 9.0 RPGLE LIVE OUTLINE MAY NOT SHOW REFERENCED LOGICAL FILE KEYED FIELDS IN THE CORRECT ORDER

Rational Developer for i 9.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a logical file is expanded in the RPGLE live outline the
  key fields are shown in the order that they are defined in the
  base physical file not the order that was defined in the logical
  file.  The static outline shows the key fields in the correct
  order.
  

Local fix

• The static outline for RPGLE can be enabled by opening the
  preferences dialog (menu Window > Preferences) then navigating
  to the panel Remote Systems > Remote Systems LPEX Editor > IBM i
  Parsers > ILE RPG.  On this panel uncheck the preference "Update
  the Outline view when text is changed in the editor".  Click OK
  to close the preferences then close and reopen the RPGLE source
  to activate the static outline.

  * USERS AFFECTED: Editors of ILE RPG in RDi using the          *
  *                 dynamic outline view                         *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Key fields were shown in the outline    *
  *                      view in buffer order rather than key    *
  *                      order.                                  *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *

  When a logical file is expanded in the RPGLE live outline the
  key fields are shown in the order that they are defined in the
  base physical file not the order that was defined in the logical
  file.  The static outline shows the key fields in the correct
  order.
  

Problem conclusion

• There is a conflicting requirement to show the keys separately
  in key order and to show all the fields including keys in
  buffer order.  In order to solve this, there is now a new
  child of database record formats that lists just the keys in
  key order.  The fields of the record format, including keys
  are shown in buffer order.
