Re: Fixed-format continued lines

Jon,

That's true for both V7R1 and V7R2 correct?

Switch to free-format declarations? <grin> - Sorry - couldn't resist.

Hi,

One of my common complaints is that fixed-format continued lines

(particularly D-spec constants that are on more than one line) are really
difficult to edit. For example:

D uriXmlns C 'http://mosaicsoftware.co.uk/Se-
D rvices'

To change that XML namespace string I need to manually shuffle around the

characters so I don't exceed the width of the D-spec "Keywords" section. If
I press F4 (to prompt the line) on either line, I don't get the full
constant, just the portion on that line. The continuation character is right
there, but RDi just ignores it.

Has anyone got any idea how to use RDi to more easily maintain source

lines with continuation characters in them? The same problem comes up in DDS
for constant strings, but with the screen designer it is possible to edit
the whole constant in the design view without worrying about the columns of
the fixed-format source view. Prompting CLLE source member lines also works
fine with continuation characters.

I'm thinking of raising another RFE for this, but if anyone has a decent

workaround then I'd be happy to hear.
