I am wondering if we should split rfe
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=10189
The current one will deliver base indentation support.
Let's create a new one with advanced formatting of RPG
People should pile on in the comments and document what kind of formatting
they would like to see.
(RFEs have comments so you can do more than just vote on them)
We need some input to get all the different coding styles covered.

It should be a preference setting when formatting the source
- align =
a = d;
bc = e;
- align keywords
name kwd(b);
name2 kwd(c);
- align datatype keywords and also align keywords after than
name int(3) kwd(b) kwd(d);
name2 pointer kwd(a) kwd(e);
- align datatype keywods and have 1 keyword per line
name int(3) kwd(b)
kwd(d);
name2 pointer kwd(a)
kwd(e);
Lot's of variations. What about splitting parameters, do we put them one
per line etc. etc.

I like it. Key suggestion? Control-equals (similar to ctrl-/ and ctrl-\
handles the comments).

some kind of scripting to do that even easier, or at least point out how
scripting is lacking in Eclipse.
<grin> My work here is done... I no longer need reply on my own!
Seriously though, I'm a 35+ year RPG veteran. In my opinion, the
column-orientation that we like is part of the RPG aesthetic. We prefer:
dcl-s v_fulnam like(n_fulnam);
dcl-s v_addr1 like(n_addr1);
dcl-s v_city like(n_city);
over
dcl-s v_fulnam like(n_fulnam);
dcl-s v_addr1 like(n_addr1);
dcl-s v_city like(n_city);
The special RDi Alt-M, -D, -C and fill selection commands are a nice
touch, but I'm not sure if they (alone) make it easy to do the sort of
formatting I like to see. For instance, given this:
v_fulnam = %trim(v_fulnam) + ' ' + v_last;
v_addr1 = v_raddr1;
v_city = v_rcity;
I'd like to select the block of text, press a key and have the editor
align everything around the = sign:
v_fulnam = %trim(v_fulnam) + ' ' + v_last;
v_addr1 = v_raddr1;
v_city = v_rcity;
Pie in the sky? Probably. If I get some time next week I'll try to
write that plug-in code and see how it goes. So, yeah, I'm advocating a
macro / plug-in, but I'm willing to give it a whirl on my own.
Wish me luck!
