ESQL Warnings based on XSDs

In ACE toolkit in "Problems" view, the warning messages are produced when using references in ESQL code and where XSD exists.

On the other hand, there is no warning message when using OutputRoot directly even though there is no element in schema to support it.

The autocomplete works as expected.

    RFE Review. Thank you for taking the time to raise this RFE and apologies it has been in Submitted status for a while. Our understanding of the request as described is that REFERENCEs create warnings where as SET statements which use OutputRoot directly do not. Within a passage of ESQL, a REFERENCE may be moved , which could be the result of quite complex logic (loops, evaluation of runtime variables etc) ... these moves are not tracked in the product using static analysis (and even if they were, there would be circumstances where the outcome could be dynamic and would be unknown until executed at runtime). It is for this reason that we have opted to use a warning marker rather than an error. With these comments noted, we are still keen to keep this RFE open to see if it draws appreciation from the community. If this becomes a business priority for us then we may investigate further to see if some of the hurdles mentioned above could be overcome.
