We are really happy with the increased level of productivity that the PDSOE gives us. Features like autocomplete and "intellisense" can give an extremely helpful boost in productivity when they are working properly. --- One feature that doesn't seem to work properly in all cases is the intellisense feature that allows us to look up an ABL program for a "RUN" statement. In other words, if you type "RUN Path1/" it finds and lists "Path1/Path2/" if that exits in the current project. Then if you select that from the list, then you get a new list of options for available paths and programs within "RUN Path1/Path2/". Finally you are allowed to pick a program ("MyProgram.p"). The expectation is that the final result will be the full statement: ---- "RUN Path1/Path2/MyProgram.p.". ---- However, this is rarely the case. Upon selection of the ABL program, the result is that the "Path1/Path2/" segments are actually *removed* and the statement becomes simply !!!! "RUN MyProgram.p" !!!! which is not in PROPATH and is not a valid ABL program to be run (unless the extra context provided by "Path1/Path2"). ---- As it turns out, there is a way to get this feature working properly but the work-around is very time-consuming and non-intuitive. If, at the start of every PDSOE working session, you delete your projects and re-import them. Then for that session ONLY your intellisense options will retain the full RUN statements as expected: ---- "RUN Path1/Path2/MyProgram.p.". --- As soon as you quit Eclipse and come back in, your intellisense options will revert to "RUN MyProgram.p". ---- Can someone please confirm this behavior in 11.3 and 11.4? For us it happens regardless of the product version or the Eclipse version. ---- Is this worthy of another support call to Progress? Thanks in advance, David
