In the previous update we provided two recommendations, please reopen this RFE or open a new one if further assistance is required.
Thank you for your input and additional details. We have two possible suggestions and could use your feedback on which one of the two suggestions you might prefer.
1. If the paragraph name is selected (either in a perform statement or on the paragraph label itself) and you press Ctrl+Shift+R then it runs the Occurrences in Compilation Unit action. This causes the Search results view to be populated with the appropriate perform statements showing their line numbers as well as the paragraph label statement itself. Double clicking on any of these entries causes the editor to navigate to that line. This works regardless of whether you are using LPEX or the COBOL editor (however the key sequence in COBOL editor is Ctrl+Shift+U). I suppose we could make it so that if you select the paragraph label, hold Ctrl and click the hyperlink that it runs the Occurrences in Compilation Unit action.
2. If the paragraph name is selected (either in a perform statement or on the paragraph label itself) and you press Ctrl+F then the Find dialog appears when using the COBOL editor, and the Find control appears when using LPEX. Since Find/Next are the default buttons in this dialog/control, simply pressing enter will navigate you to the perform statements and the paragraph label itself. We could make it so that if you select the paragraph label, hold Ctrl and click the hyperlink that it runs the Find action.
I am using
IBM® Developer for z/OS®
Version: 14.2.3
Build id: 14.2.30.202006030830-368.
I am using the zSystems LPEX Editor on a COBOL program.
When I hold down the control key and hover over the paragraph name embedded in a Perform verb, it turns the paragraph name into a hyperlink. If I left click on it, I am taken to the paragraph in the source module.
I would like the reverse of this to be true. If I hold down the control key and hover over the paragraph name I am currently in, it turn the paragraph name into a hyperlink, but when I left click on the link it goes no where. I would like the link to take me to the first perform of the paragraph name, and be able to hit enter to go to the next Perform of that paragraph name.
Hello, as we were reviewing and discussing this issue we found that we could use more detail to help understand your use case. Can you provide with the editor you are using within IDz and perhaps any screen shots of what you are doing and what you see? Thank you in advance for the additional input.
