Error description

  • When editing ILE RPG source in Rational Developer for i (RDI)
9.6.0.11, one can select a field or constant name and perform
the Refactor>Rename action (ALT+SHIFT+R) to rename all instance
of that name in the source.

In RDI version 9.6.0.11 this was changed to not accept a new
target name which matched a name already in use.  However, RDi
users may sometimes wish to rename field uses in the program to
match a different field that already exists. This should be
allowed on the refactor rename action, but with a suitable
warning caution message.

Local fix

  • Temporarily hide the existing definition statement for the new
target name by commenting it out temporarily, perform the
refactor rename operation, and then restore the commented out
definition.

The Refactor Rename action should let users choose an existing
name, but warn them.

Problem conclusion
