Re: Request New RPG Features
Hi qgenesist, could you start a new thread for this request, with a more specific title? And also give a bit more information about what you mean by dbgview(*srcstmt).

Re: Request New RPG Features

Hi Barbara,

I've the same request : It would be easier to be able to code the compil option for DBGVIEW in the H card instead of retyping it each time I want to compile my program (and forgot it half time)

Re: Request New RPG Features

I only found this site today.

My suggestion for a new feature is to expand the /copy preprocessor command as follows ...

a) allow from, to ljne numbers - this is particularly useful when copying in prototyped functions

b) use in DDS sources - e.g. for common headers, and footers in screen and printer files.

I already have a working version at www.rpglanguage.com/copybook .

Regards,

John McKay

Re: Request New RPG Features
Hi John, could you start a new thread about your /copy ideas? The title of this thread is too general to be useful for specific subjects.

How to start a new topic in this forum
This is the "Welcome to the forum" discussion.

To discuss a new topic in this forum, please start a new discussion specific to that topic.

The easiest way that I have found to start a new discusson is to click on "RPG Language" under the "Discussion Forums" tab above (be careful not to click on the "Discussion Forums" button itself. Then you should see the list of current discussions in the RPG forum. To start a new discussion, click on the "Create a discussion" link in the Actions section on the right.

Re: Request New RPG Features

Hi JPLamontre ,

Why dont you just change the default compile options for the debugview so it shows source or *all ?

Re: Request New RPG Features

1) need to fix this a source level : debview(*all) is not a correct default value for me

2) not allowed
