I just started using RDi at my new job.
I have to document a huge program that has many files, subprocedures and

For some reason, for this program only the Outline window is not being

It is a convoluted program, and that's why it needs to be documented.
Anyone have any ideas as to how to get this to work?

In the past, the Outline View sometimes got confused if the source code
had a syntax error, like a line I am in the middle of typing, or
something included in a /copy member.

Look through the source for squiggly underlines, and also down the left
side for yellow caution triangles. That's a hint that the Outline View
is seeing what it thinks are errors in the source code.

I have a vague recollection that there is a scenario regarding what
column code within a /COPY starts in, but I couldn't find it with a
quick peep at the archives. It's probably in a thread that drifted from
the subject line...

I definitely feel for you; I have some hideous programs that I've tried
with the Outline View but I'm afraid to say that I find a compiler cross
reference more reliable. I intend to open some PMRs when I get time to
catch a breath...
