Error description
Rational Developer for System z - RDz - v8.5.1 RDz's Contents assist functionality fails when dispalying structures declared as LIKE For instance, in the following program, when I create a new line and type aw, then hit the ctrl+space I am given only 2 options. But, if the structure is not defined with a ptr then I am given the options of the like structure. P77397: PROC() OPTIONS(MAIN); dcl z1 char(10); dcl 1 wt, 5 a1 char(10), 5 a2 char(3), 5 a3 char(5); dcl z2 char(16) varying; dcl awptr ptr; dcl bwptr ptr; dcl aw like wt based(awptr); dcl bw like wt based(bwptr); dcl mw like wt; dcl c like wt; z1 = ' HI'; DISPLAY( z1 ) ; wt.a1 = z1; END P77397; There is no syntax error for aw.a1 = z1, but aw.x is not given as a choice for content assist. Also, the structure is not displayed when you hover over the variable. *************************************************************** Local fix:
