Hi *ALL,

sorry for crossposting, but i really want a big number of votes for
this one. If you are a RPG programmer, go and vote!

I've added a feature request at FRED, in which i ask for syntax
checking in /FREE mode. This is missing in WDSC and in SEU.

It is a shame, that the "old" fixed form syntax checker rulez over the
latest in technology to edit the sources.

Just an example with the appearing error messages (mine are german):

     /FREE
       asking = ''can that be true?';
       thinking = ((as you can't see anything else? pretty dumb...;
      /END-FREE 
     C                   EVAL      OK = ''not with me'
RNF5377E Ende des Ausdrucks erwartet.
     C                   EVAL      OK = function(()
RNF0637E Ein Operand wurde erwartet, aber nicht gefunden; die Bestimmung wird 
ignoriert.
RNF0312E Rechte runde Klammer erwartet, aber nicht gefunden.


as you can see, the syntax checker is either dumb as dumb can be, or
it does not exist.

+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
| So please vote for feature 270 and show IBM that there are people  |
| wanting to program nowadays RPG without loss of features they      |
| already had! I rely on you RPG-folks out there!                    |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+

That's what's FRED is for - IBM's "Feature Request Enhancement
Database".

Please visit
http://www7b.software.ibm.com/wsdd/products/fred/fred.html and
register for the "Websphere Developer Domain".

The feature "Syntax check in /FREE!" is #270.

Thanks in advance for your vote and so helping to keep RPG and RPG
editing fun!
