The following steps provide the requested enhancement functionality in the current IBM Developer for z/OS version:
In the recent versions of IDz, if the user wants to see the version history that Endevor produces, they can do as follows:
1) Right-click on the element and select Custom -> Print Element
2) In the Print Element Dialog, the user needs to select "H - History" from the "Type of print requested" drop down list
3) The user then gets a confirmation dialog. From that dialog, the user needs to select "Open"
4) The element history from Endevor is then shown in the editor window.
5) The user can page down to see the history infornation
Mistakenly closed out before investigation.
Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. This request for enhancement is not currently aligned with our product strategy and vision and for this reason, we will not be implementing it. Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.
Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
Brand - Servers and Systems Software
Product family - Programming Languages
Product - Developer for System z
For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
Brand - Rational
Product family - Design & development
Product - Developer for System z
This RFE is consistent with our roadmap and is being considered for delivery in the next 2 year time frame. Thanks.
I don't know how I got the whole program plus changed lines. Now, when I put 'C' either using Custom->Print Element or Team->Open-Current-Output-Listing, it does show you the differences only. What seems to be odd is that when you specify 'Search Map' - 'No', it shows you changes in Test, but when you select 'Yes', it shows you changes in Production.
It seems that Endevor and RDz work differently. In Endevor you only see the changed lines; RDz shows you the whole program including the changed lines. Also, if I want to see the element changes why should I use 'Print element' feature? I think the original Endevor options should be used featuring 'Summary of Element levels' (instead of 'Show History'), 'Element Changes' and all the other features. Additionally, since 'Package' features are not working in this release I think they should be removed - it gives a wrong impression. A question - what 'type of print element' option 'L' is for? Thank you.
Please try now. Thanks.
That's true. Even I don't see it so something must have went wrong when I attached it before. Please try now. Sorry about that. Thanks.
