SE58131: RDI 9.0.1 RPG OUTLINE NOT SHOWN FOR SPLIT QUALIFIED NAME ON D SPECIFICATION KEYWORD

Rational Developer for i 9.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The source scan for the RPG Live Outline view has a problem with
  valid RPG source, with a qualified name used in a D spec keyword
  where the name is split at the period to a continued line :
  
       D SOMEEXAMPLE...
       D                 DS                  BASED(NAMEPART1.
       D                                     NAMEPART2)
  
  The scan is failing on the trailing period on the split
  qualified name: BASED(NAMEPART1.
  This causes the Live Outline view to not be populated, and
  an error annotation marker to be placed on the line.
  

Local fix

• To avoid this problem either combine the split line onto one
  line to avoid the error condition:
  
       D SOMEEXAMPLE...
       D                 DS             BASED(NAMEPART1.NAMEPART2)
  
  or switch to the older static outline view by unchecking
  'Update the Outline view when text is changed in the editor'
  in the Preferences under Remote Systems -> Remote Systems LPEX
  -> IBM i Parsers -> ILE RPG.
