Re: [WDSCI-L] Line truncation message - how to avoid disaster

I couldn't see anything under LPEX preferences. I do see now that it warns 
me when I go past the record length when editing, and when saving, which is 
what got to start this thread.  ;-)

I usually open from a member - even though it uses a temporary local file, 
it seems the record length is known.

Is there a way to add a parser to Remote Systems? And, if so, will it have 
configurable values? There are so many parsers under LPEX but none seem to 
have a way to configure them. I admit, I'm not able to take too much time 
to dig around.

The word-wrapping would be a good thing, I think. Maybe CDT does it, but, 
as you know, I was not able to get it to install. Am waiting for V5.1

Finally, I'd like to see the record length as part of the Properties 
window, although it is less important, now that I understand the messages 
about exceeding the record length.

Thanks for your comments and help.

Back to work.  ;-(    Uh, I mean    ;-)
