What's new in Rational Programming Patterns

The following new capabilities are introduced in Rational® Programming Patterns Version 9.7.2.

Enhanced design editors

To prevent any inconsistencies, the name of a Database Block is selected in the creation wizard and cannot be changed after the Block is created, even inside the same category.
A new quick fix can be used to add a missing Segment to the -LS Lines of a Data Structure when this Segment was created in the local workspace as the result of a copied change set in Engineering Workflow Management (Rational Team Concert).
The Screen name is displayed in the titles of the Screen Emulator and Screen Address view.

The micropatterns are available again in the Snippets view to make their declaration easier through the insertion wizard.
The content assist facility is extended to the micropattern declaration lines where parameters have not been valued yet. If the cursor is set after the = sign of a parameter whose possible values are a predefined list of values, the content assist displays the list of the possible values with the description of each value.
A new SIP (Segment in Program) parameter is available in the WF micropattern to rename a Segment.

A new Macro cross-references choice is available in the -CP Lines. It opens the result view of a Macro cross-reference search for the selected Macro.
The mention Missing entry point is displayed in the generation manager when the workspace contains a generated file but not its origin design instance.

New configurations are available to filter the Rational Programming Patterns information messages, warnings, and errors in the Problems view.
