No Intellisense when calling procedures in the same package

[KevinRyan]

Hello,

I think that I have found a tiny bug. One that might easily be squished.

I am writing some automated processes and I enclose most all of a given process into one package. When I call outside of the current package I can write the package+procedure name and then have my drop list of parameters.

When I call procedures which are within the same package I do not have this assistance. It is very helpful to have this feature.

Another very helpful item to help you keep you head on straight when writing big packages, would a be an Isolate button. Like in VB6 this button would allow you to only have the current procedure in your editing window at a time.

Another place where I miss intellisense:
Records! Be it a user defined record type or in a "for record in cursor loop". That would be nice to have.

Functions and procedures within the current package will only be described by the Code Assistant if they are public (present in the package specification) and if the package specification is valid.

For 6.0 we hope to enhance the Code Assistant to support private functions and user defined record types. An "Isolate" function (or something similar) is also on the to-do list.

Okay. That makes sense, because I did create those procedures with no headers. I will add them, and then shave down the header at migration time.

About 6.0: You guys rock! Soon you will own the Oracle Development market!
