Jerry, this might be a dumb question but...

are you sure the source member you have open is of the correct type?  Is
it RPGLE or what?

Under Preferences/Remote Systems/iSeries/LPEX Editor Parsers/...  there
is CL,COBOL,DDS,ILE RPG, and RPG/400.

I don't know but it sounds to me like the LPEX editor doesn't like your
source type for some reason so isn't using the preference settings you
are defining.

John.

Well, even though I didn't hold out much hope, I uninstalled both WDSc 6.0 and 5.1.2, then installed 6.0 from scratch and installed the updates. Re-define my preferences which should handle these issues.

Didn't work. All of the issues, which I stated below, still exist. Since one respondent said that these work fine for him, I can again only

surmise that there is some preference, somewhere that conflicts with or overrides these. If so, it isn't obvious (to moi, anyway) as I went through every single preference section and every panel within each section.

As far as the "Enter" key issue goes, there is a workaround (Ctl+Enter). The action 'newLine' may not be the proper action, but it was the only one that I could find that made sense, and it was the option I used in 5.1.2. But the change I made to the "backSpace" key ('left') works fine in 6.0.

I don't expect any responses as everyone has already had a look at this,

if they wanted to.  But if anyone should have an epiphany, give me a
buzz.


Thanks.

Well, just spent three hours downloading and installing the update.

These issues (below) remain. I checked the preferences, as indicated below. In fact, I went through every preference panel, but could not find anything directly relevant that I did not indicate below.

My only thoughts are that:

 1. There is a preference setting that is indirectly affecting my
    results, or
 2. The fact that I have both 6.0 and 5.1.2 running on the same PC
    might be causing a clash.

Reasonably (to me, anyway) I doubt #2 is the problem because 5.1.2 works as advertised.

I've had others tell me that these are not issues with them, too. So obviously it's a personal issue. I just don't know how personal. If not one else has any suggestions, I may just bite the bullet tomorrow:

uninstall both versions and install 6.0 alone.
Thanks.

There are a few of irritants that I have with the LPEX editor under

WDSc 6.0.0. Build 20050609_2105 as opposed to 5.1.2.

After getting the updates, I have Version: 6.0.1 Build id: 20050725_1800.

First, in fixed format RPG, when I press the /Enter/ key, it does

*not* repeat the specification type (F,C, etc.). And I do >have the preferences set (RemoteSystems...iSeries...LPEX Editor Parsers...ILE RPG: Repeat previous specification type = >checked).

This works for me.

Second, when typing a structured opcode (IF, SELECT, etc.), it does

not automatically apply the closing ENDxx, which 5.1.2 >did. And, again, the preference is set (same page as above: Automatic closure of control block = checked, Style = ENDXX).

This works for me.

Third, when I press the /Enter/ key, while the cursor is not at the

end of the line, it breaks the line at the point of the >cursor - which is what one would expect in Word or a text editor. However, 5.1.2 simply created a new line regardless of >where the cursor was in the line. I even added a preference (LPEX Editor...UserKeyActions:

enter = newLine). There is a >"workaround" for this one, though: Hold

the /Control/ key while pressing /Enter/. I have another action which

says:

backSpace = left. Works fine.

This works for me also. To break the line, I have to press alt-s. (I wish it wouldn't put the text starting at column 1.)

I use WDSc for editing RPG IV syntax primarily, not web development

(yet). I do have both 6.0 and 5.1.2 installed on the >same PC, but 5.1.2 works as described above, which is the way I want it to work.

Any suggestions, corrections would be appreciated.

I don't know if the updates fixed what you're experiencing because I don't recall having those problems before I got the updates. (I don't use the automatic closure feature so I can't comment on that.)

hth,
Phil

Thanks.
