Re: Keeping Comments In SDA

Hi Robert,

What I've always done is make a working copy before editing a screen with
SDA and modify the working copy. Then I apply those changes to the original
copy. One other thing I've noticed is that if you modify a format, then all
dates for all lines on that format are changed not only the lines you
changed.
By applying the changes from the working copy to the original the unchanged
lines on the format retain their original dates.

HTH,

Robert Rogerson

Greetings from the sunny south.





In writing screens for my RPG programs, I have encountered a problem and
ask for your guidance.



In the top section of the DDS code I include comments with program
information, modifications logs and documentation the indicator usage:





* *In75 - PC, RI On Color 10 Field, RI On Size 10 Field
* *In76 - PC, RI On Color 11 Field, RI On Size 11 Field
* *In77 - PC, RI On Color 12 Field, RI On Size 12 Field




*=========================================================================
* Modification History:

*=========================================================================
* Mod Proj# Int Date Desc
* ----- ----- --- ----------
-----------------------------------------
* M001 5291 RwM 07/27/2011 Expand To Two Screens

**************************************************************************



A DSPSIZ(24 80 *DS3)
A CA03(03 'F3=Exit')
A CF04(04 'F4=Prompt')
A CA05(05 'F5=Refresh')





When I go into SDA to make a screen modification and exit, many of my
comments vanish. Is there a limit to the number of comments in SDA or is
there some protocol I need to use to retain my comments?
