Dave, if you open a fixed format program in the CODE editor, click Actions>
Convert All to C-Free form.  CODE will do a good job plus it automatically
does the indentation. Beats doing it in SEU. As a matter of fact, now that
you have set yourself free, if you use SEU, try CODE. You'll enjoy the
differences.

I finally made some time this week to start learning/using the new RPG
/free
and I just want to comment that "this sure ain't your momma's RPG"!  A big
"THANKS" to Hans and others involved in the implementation of it.  This is
awesome!  I feel like I'm programming in a completely different language
but
yet I can understand it.  I especially like the ability to indent.  Maybe
I've just missed it, but I haven't heard or read anyone commenting that
this
should make it much easier for C and Java programmers to learn (or at least
understand RPG, if they're faced with it).  And should make it easier for
new programmers also.

I can't wait till embedded SQL can be coded right within the /free format.
I may never use the cycle again!

Dave
