Description
Trial period for new installs is now 120 days (from 60 days). Note: This does not affect existing installs. The 120 day trial period will apply when installing the product at 9.6.0.4 level. It does not apply if you update an existing install to 9.6.0.4 level. The simplest way to install at 9.6.0.4 level is the web install method. If using zip images, define the unzipped product 9.6 image plus the unzipped product 9.6.0.4 fixpack image as repositories in IBM Installation Manager and then do an install. For details of install methods, see http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21668005 .

Description
A PDM perspective has been added that has more editor real-estate, a minimal set of relevant views, and prominently features an updated Object Table view for PDM-like navigation.
The Object Table view has been enhanced to make it easy for PDM users to migrate to RDi while still using similar keystrokes and ways of working. It now boasts an embedded quick filter panel to quickly identify a set of items to work with using similar criteria as PDM. A new Option column enables quick entry of PDM options and even user defined commands to act on the library, object, or member in a row. Filters can optionally be named and reused in the Remote Systems Explorer view. Many RSE power users may prefer to work in the enhanced table view because of its ease and power. Similar to F17 in PDM, there is Subset tab to subset a list on a keystroke basis without any communications delay. Additionally, a rich history mechanism provides easy reuse of filter values.
To help first time users get started, they are automatically prompted for a hostname so they can get to work immediately. Together with the PDM perspective and the enhanced Object Table view, this provides a streamlined onboarding experience for users familiar with PDM.
Support for the RPG DATA-INTO opcode. DATA-INTO reads the data from a structured document, such as a JSON document, into a data structure. DATA-INTO is similar to XML-INTO, but you must provide a parser.
See http://ibm.biz/data-into-rpg-opcode-ptfs for:
– the 7.2 or 7.3 PTFs you need for the RPG compiler and runtime support
– the 7.2 or 7.3 PTFs you need to get the source for a sample JSON parser and other sample parsers
– links to documentation for the DATA-INTO opcode
– links to documentation on how to write a DATA-INTO parser

Error navigation includes compile and program verifier Error List errors, ILE RPG live parser errors, and ILE RPG Unreferenced Definition warnings. The combination box toolbar button can select and deselect the types of annotations available in the navigation. This can also be configured through the General > Editors > Text Editors > Annotations preference page. Note that syntax checking errors are always available in the navigation.

Variable length database fields are now recognized correctly in the ILE RPG outline view and editor.
The hover help for RPGLE KLIST, and PLIST references now show field and parameter lists.
In the Error List, the “Remove current list” and “Remove all lists” toolbar buttons will now also remove the corresponding error annotations in the editor.
In ILE RPG, comments with lower case spec type like ‘d*’ are now included in the hover.
Hover of error list annotations on the right margin now includes the message ID.

Description
Support for ILE RPG %PROC built-in function. For more information, see the documentation in: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAE4W_9.6.0/com.ibm.etools.iseries.ilerpg.ref.doc/topics/bbproc.htm
RFE70905
Compare Doesn’t Merge from RSE. The Compare tool in RSE now enables the merge features when comparing remote IBM i members. Previously, this was only available when comparing local members in i Projects or when comparing local i Project members with their corresponding remote members in Remote Reconciler. In addition, differences like sequence numbers can now be properly displayed using the Text Compare option in the Compare tool and will allow you to better synchronize and merge conflicts, for example, when using eGit tools. NOTE: If multiple compare editors are open for the same source members edit mode will be disabled.
RFE82757
Error list does not position to correct source line if any source lines have been added or deleted. Error List messages are now displayed as annotations in the editor instead of inserted as pink inline message text. Double clicking on verify or compile errors in the Error List view, will open the source member, insert the messages as annotations, highlight the code in error and allow you to hover over the code and click on a link to get the second level message help. If you prefer to go back to the style where messages are inserted as text in the source, select the View Menu -> Message Style -> Show messages as annotations (drop down arrow icon on the right hand side of the Error List view). Note: Syntax check errors are also set to display messages as annotations by default. To turn this off, go to Window -> Preferences, then select Remote Systems > Remote Systems LPEX Editor > IBM i Parsers. Uncheck ‘Display syntax check messages as annotations’. Issue: Annotations cannot be properly displayed for some DDS compile messages and should be turned off for this case. This is a known issue and will be corrected. For more information, see the documentation in: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAE4W_9.6.0/com.ibm.etools.iseries.rse.doc/topics/t_error_message_style.html
RFE36974
Change behaviour of TAB-key for /free lines. The Tab key will now insert spaces into free form ILE RPG source lines when pressed. Shift+Tab will outdent the free form line. If you select one or more free form lines and press Tab or Shift+Tab it will increase or decrease the indent respectively. To change the number of spaces used, go to Window -> Preferences, then select Remote Systems > Remote Systems LPEX Editor > IBM i Parsers -> ILE RPG -> Formatter. Set the value in ‘Number of spaces to indent by’. If you prefer to go back to the behavior where Tab and Shift+Tab behave the same way on free form lines as fixed form lines, go to Window -> Preferences, then select Remote Systems > Remote Systems LPEX Editor > IBM i Parsers -> ILE RPG -> Key Behavior. Uncheck ‘Tab key inserts spaces for free form source.’ Note: The ‘Key Behavior’ preference now includes all Key behavior settings previously found in the parent ILE RPG preference. Two new settings were added: ‘Tab key inserts spaces for free form source.’ for RFE36974 and ‘Enter key splits line for free form source’ for RFE25265.
RFE25265
LPEX Editor behavior when enter pressed/delete pressed. The Enter key will now split the line when Enter is pressed on free form ILE RPG source lines. The delete key has not been enabled to join lines, so Alt+J should still be used to join lines. RFE25265 has been partially implemented and will remain open. If you prefer to go back to the original behavior for the Enter key, go to Window -> Preferences, then select Remote Systems > Remote Systems LPEX Editor > IBM i Parsers -> ILE RPG -> Key Behavior. Uncheck ‘Enter key splits line for free form source’ Note: The ‘Key Behavior’ preference now includes all Key behavior settings previously found in the parent ILE RPG preference. Two new settings were added: ‘Tab key inserts spaces for free form source’ for RFE36974 and ‘Enter key splits line for free form source’ for RFE25265.
RFE74270
Show contextual warning about unused local variables. Warning annotations are now displayed in the editor for any unreferenced definitions. To turn this off, go to Window -> Preferences, then select Remote System LPEX Editor > IBM i Parsers > ILE RPG. Uncheck “Annotate unreferenced definitions”. For more information, see the documentation in: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAE4W_9.6.0/com.ibm.etools.iseries.rse.doc/topics/tannot_unref.html
