vscode-rpgle README

Adds functionality to assist in writing accurate, readable and consistent RPG language code, including:

• Content assist
• Outline view
• Linter, including indentation checking and reformatting (**FREE only)
• Column assist for fixed-format RPGLE and OPM RPG

Depends on the Code for IBM i extension due to source code living on the remote system when developing with source members.

Documentation

Check out the official documentation for a usage guide.

Developing

2. npm i

The test suite covers both RPG language variants:

• ILE RPG tests: tests/suite/*.test.ts
• OPM RPG tests: tests/suite/opm/*.test.ts
  • Specification parsing (specs.test.ts)
  • Symbol resolution and scoping (scope.test.ts)
