subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] Conversion to free form

I have noticed a couple of gotchas when converting.  If there are any
characters in CC1-5 the conversion leaves them there and then the
compile complains and you have to go and manually remove the

characters in CC1-5.

Forgive me if I have missed something ...

The following code works just fine for me, (with characters in cols
1-5):

     D Message         S             20A 
BP001C                   Eval      Message = 'Semi-free format' 
BP002C     Message       Dsply     '*REQUESTER' 
      /Free 
BP003    Message = 'Free format'; 
BP004    Dsply Message '*REQUESTER'; 
BP005    *InLR = *On; 
BP006    Return; 
      /End-Free 

Converts, compiles and runs OK under V5R3 and V5R4 - no problem.
Columns 
1 to 5 can continue to be used under free-format - no need to remove.

The problem is in any SQLRPGLE program.  It is not restricted to the SQL
code but all through out the program.
