Allow VALIDATION specfiles to be syntax checked
Specfiles with the VALIDATION keyword are being skipped due to “File has no PRINT or LETTER division” however per eDocs, validation specfiles are not supposed to use these: Do not use a SELECT or PRINT division in a validation specfile.
In Progress
Deploy and Install should deploy includes before deploying and installing
When using “Deploy and Install,” it checks if any includes also need to be deployed. However, it will deploy and install the main file before it deploys the includes, resulting in an installed file with old include code in memory. It needs to deploy the includes first before deploying and installing the main file.

Referencing fields by number displays an error message
these are both valid but the built-in error checker flags them as errors: account:040 account:010:001
Planned
Validation messages in the Output section of VS Code
It would be nice to have the messages from Episys shown on VS Code’s Output panel in place of the generic xxxx.xx install failed.
In Progress
flag strings longer than 132 chars
any “string” longer than 132 could show up in the problems tab. for example htmlviewline(“
In Progress
Add support for headers ... end
It’s possible to define report headers not only by the typical means of header=”…”, but also by a section like this: print title = "foo" headers print "bar" newline end [...] end PowerOn Pro does not seem to recognize this syntax yet.
In Progress
Add support for complex expressions in references to sub-fields
Something like card note:text:(myNumberVar - 1) is not parsed correctly by PowerOn Pro; card note:text:(myNumberVar) seems to already work fine, though.
In Progress
Saving .PRO file does not auto-deploy
I have the config option to auto-deploy on save, but it tells me it’s skipping validation because the file is an include file and cannot be validated. It then stops, instead of copying the file to the sym.
Planned
When warning about mismatching includes, let me click the warning to open the file
“An #INCLUDE file has local changes:. Consider enabling "Auto Deploy Include Files" in settings.” Let me click the or the whole message itself to open the file in question so I can examine the diffs and easily deploy the file myself if I choose.
Planned
Regularly sync content for eDocs or Help Center
We need to make sure we have accurate information available in our function signatures, hovers, etc. as releases changes in Symitar.
Planned
Add deployment protections to Sym connections
Need to add organization owner the ability (through Libum Portal) to set restrictions on which Sym developers can deploy to.
In Progress
Cancel running batch job
Since these batch jobs don’t show up in batch control, we could use some way to cancel a currently running batch run initiated by PowerOn Pro.
In Progress
Add On-Demand rendering for PowerOn
Need to add support for rendering HTML on-demand PowerOn files within VS Code.
In Progress
Add embedded support for HTML
Need to add syntax highlighting for inline HTML and remove requirement for managing the htmlViewLine function and others.
Planned
Add Source Control Management (SCM) to Remote Syms
Need to provide a self-managed source control capability to our Remote Syms feature.
Planned
Improve the SSH connection type user experience
There are multiple areas of improvement here. prompting the user to accept key on first use support non-CLI enabled organizations
Planned
Add Miscellaneous Posting to available commands
My understanding is that we want to be able to run this via PowerOn Pro and display output in VS Code. (ref. Technology Happens)
Planned
Add SymXchange development package
Need to add support for managing the SymX PowerOn lifecycle.
Planned
Run FM from batch output
Need to add a batch FM run targeting a specific report available via command.
Planned
