How do you copy the lines? I don't know the first thing about COBOL or the editing facilities RDp gives COBOL programmers, but there are multiple methods for copying whole lines in RPG, including mouse/keyboard select©&paste, and you can use the prefix area like you would in SEU to C or CC/CC and A various lines. The last I can think of is using the CTRL-D keypress which duplicates the current line. (In the Java editor CTRL-ALT-Up duplicates the current line.)

Just curious in RDI V9.0 in COBOL can we again copy one line of code that has something in the first 6 columns and paste it on the next line and it will paste the whole line? If we copy and paste two lines of code it works just fine, the problem is with just one line of copy and paste. When using WDSC it worked just fine, but ever since the upgrades RDI-RDP-(maybe)back to RDI has been a real pain for someone who puts project numbers in the first 5 columns. With the little amount of enhancements an Iseries COBOL programmer gets in the upgrades it would probably just be beneficial for us to go back to WDSC if not fixed. FYI...I have tried all the BLOCK settings in preferences(character, element, rectangle, stream) and none work like in WDSC. Below is example of what I am talking about....
Copy the following line....
123456*A-1-B
62JRB IF TU-POLICY-TYPE = "7"
when paste to next line only get this....below 123456*A-1-B 62JRB
But when coping two lines together....
123456*A-1-B
62JRB IF TU-POLICY-TYPE = "7"
62JRB MOVE "Y" TO WS-TEST.
when paste to next line the whole lines paste like they are suppose to...shown below 123456*A-1-B
62JRB IF TU-POLICY-TYPE = "7"
62JRB MOVE "Y" TO WS-TEST.
