Error description
When loading or when a refresh of the outline is manually requested the parsing of the RPGLE source causes the error "Error building outline model for <source-name>.RPGLE" to be place in the workspace Error Log. The cause will be due to a NullPointerException: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.ibm.etools.iseries.rpgle.ui.RpgAstLabels.getDataTypeName( Unknown Source) This will occur when a referenced external file contains a field whose data type is not supported in RPG.
