Re: Hide unreferenced variables?

Hi David

You might already know this one, still, it might help others.

There is an option in the Preferences' section, enter "unused" in the 
text search, you'll see the ILE RPG topic, where there is an option to 
annotate unused definitions - this puts an "i" on the left of the row 
for unused. And there's a further option to include data structure 
subfields.

It doesn't hide them, but it does make them visible. It's intent, it 
seems, was to help find them, in order to clean them up.
