Error description
This problem shows in RDP 8.5.1 (live outline) and was previously OK in RDP 8.0.3.1 (static outline). In the new version the live content assist does not correctly display the return value type when it is defined LIKE a field in a data structure template.
Local fix
To use the static outline in RDP 8.5 (and later) uncheck the checkbox "Update the outline view when text is changed in the editor" in the ILE RPG parser preferences.
