It does, and it trains me to ignore yellow triangles.

I have a slightly better user experience when I enable auto-complete. I
type 'select;' and then press Enter and RDi inserts a blank line and the
equivalent 'endsl;' But when I'm refactoring (by hand) I sometimes need
to wrap existing code inside an IF...ENDIF construct which always gives
me the squigglies.

Templates are also helpful. Type 'if' then press Ctrl-Space to see the
templates available for the IF opcode. To see (or create) these
templates, Preferences > Remote Systems > Remote Systems LPEX Editor >
ILE RPG > Templates. Thankfully, the filter recognises 'templates' :-)
