can't see field names in outline

Perhaps I am trying too many new things at once.

We have defined a new master file in DDL. I am writing a simple program to move the data from the old file to the new file. I got a compile error of invalid field name. I click on outline (and refreshed) to review field names and there is no plus sign for the DDL defined file. There is a plus sign for the DDS defined files and I can see the field names. But not for the DDL defined file.

I have to use either ops nav or green screen tools to find the field names. Obviously I am missing something. Is there another way to view field names?

I am also having trouble seeing what file definition is pulled into the program. It took me a while to get my library list correct for this new project . I got errors using files with the same name in the wrong library.

How can I determine within RDI where the file definition is coming from? Currently, I still print the compiles so I view the spool file to see what library the file definitions are coming from. There has to be a way to do this in rdi.
