SE58789: RDI 9.0.1 ILE RPG CONTENT ASSIST INCORRECTLY OVERLAYS EXISTING CODE WHEN A LONGER SELECTION IS MADE

Rational Developer for i 9.1.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using content assist to change an existing reference to a
  data structure and subfield and the new value is longer than the
  old one it will overlay the subfield as well.  For example in
  the case where a DS like this is used
  
      myVar = myDS.field
  
  And then content assist is emplyed to select the new value
  myData to replace myDS the result will appear as:
  
      myVar = myDataield
  
  The content assist should replace the myDS with myData and
  not overlay the ".field" part of the line.
  

Local fix

• Manually correct the statement after using content assist
