Hadn't noticed this Doug - but I'm not surprised.

I have found that RDi doesn't seem to like the / anywhere except in position 7.

However, when I move a /COPY statement to begin in column 9, and my source is type SQLRPGLE, the SQL Precompiler does not always seem to recognize the /COPY statement.

The two begin in column 9 and there is no problem with the SQL compiler. However, when the first one is in column 9, the SQL precompiler does not recognize it, and it looks like it treats it as a comment. When I move that one back to begin in column 7, the precompiler recognizes the /COPY.
