Re: RDi 9.9 **FREE RPG parser

I use RDi 9.9 on a German Windows 11 PC and your test source does not show
any errors when pasted into a member of an i Project.

My workspace settings are:
Text file encoding: UTF-8
New text file line delimiter: Linux

Opening the same source from a member on the IBM i (Object Table view)
works fine (without errors), too.

Maybe it helps setting property "file.encoding" as described in the fix
list:

Known issues:
* On Windows, program verifiers issue errors for NL characters. As a
workaround, add the following in the rdi.ini after -vmargs:
-Dfile.encoding=CP1252

I did not need to set that property.

Hi there,

maybe I'm missing something or a default setting has changed, but my RDi
9.9 is flagging variables and constants starting with # as errors.

**free
dcl-c #CONSTANT 0;
dcl-s #variable int(10) inz(#CONSTANT);
#variable = #CONSTANT;
*inlr = *on;

This little program is compiling without problems. But lines 2, 3 and 4
are flagged as error in RDi 9.9.

It's a wild mix of RNF3904, RNF3312, RNF3301, RNF0633, RNF3429, RNF0607
and RNF0604.

The same code isn't flagged in RDi 9.8.0.6. And as I wrote, the code
compiles without errors (on 7.5).

The same happens with other sources - the example above is only as short
as I thought to have all possible problems

So do I have something wrong, or is this a defect? And if it's a defect,
has someone a workaround until IBM/Fortra is supplying a fix?

TIA and kind regards,

Daniel
