Very often I've been using code construction like
declare x as type <some_type> = self::GetSomething
That's really cool. But what makes me upset that in this inline declaration the editor doesn't offer possibilitites when the cursor is just behind the
self::
I must remember what I want to write. Or - and that's the key problem - when I even don't know the method or property name and I'm just looking for its name, then first of all I must declare the "x" item separately in local-storage and then I can start finding name of the requested method or name. It looks like the editor doesn't work correctly in that case.
#declareinlineWhich product version are you using? I am using 2.3 Update 2 and intellisense does provide me with a list of class names or methods in the declaration.
If I enter
declare x as type string =
the list does not appear but if I enter a character such as 's' then the list will appear showing all matches. If I don't know what it starts with and I press Ctrl space then the full list of available classes will appear.
Intellisense always displays a list of available method names after entering the ':' character.
I believe that the behavior you are describing occurred in versions prior to the current version.
Thanks.

#declareinlineWe are using 2.3 Update 1, so we are downloading Update 2 and we will see if it is the reason.

#declareinlineSo we downloaded and installed Update 2 but nothing has changed. I do not know if it is neccesary to activate the update by any way ? I do not suppose so but I do not know. I can "live without it" but it is unpleasant.

#declareinlineThere are some options that you can set that control how intellisense works within the editor.
Navigate to Tools-->Options-->Text Editor-->Micro Focus COBOL-->Intellisense and check the options that are selected.
If it isn't working the way you think it should be then please open up a support incident and we will research the behavior and RPI it (bug report) if necessary.
