We also have that problem, and we don't use the IFS to store the source. It seems to be caused when cut&paste is used to put code in... although I am not 100% sure of that. I suspect that when you re-open the file you are opening a cached version and it retains the spaces at the end of lines (again, I am not 100% sure).


If I see a source member with that issue I just use the following command on the LPEX command-line (press ESC when the source member is open):
findText all noEmphasis regularExpression replaceWith "$1" "(\\S)\\s+$"

Copy that line (as is, including quotes) to the LPEX command-line, press ENTER, and it will remove all spaces at the end of all lines (right trim, aka %TRIMR to RPGLE devs).


Alternatively, use the CTRL-F panel, entering " +$" (without quotes) into the find box, clearing the replace box (nothing must be in it), tick regular expressions and wrap, untick the other boxes, and it does the same TRIMR when you press the REPLACE ALL button.


There might be a need for an RFE, but I am not sure I would bother voting for it as it doesn't bother me. Or some enterprising plugin maker might find a way to help.

Hi Charles,

I have the same problem but we store all our source on the iSeries.

Best regards,
Mark

Are you storing on the IFS?

That's the only place I could understand trailing spaces remaining after saving...

Does anyone know if there's an RFE for opening an RPG source (or really
any source) with trailing spaces trimmed? I just hit the "one time too
many" of copying over trailing spaces into source and when I hit the "end"
key to go to the end of the code, it took me way beyond column 80.
Yes, I can do the trim thing. I just don't want to have to do that on
every source I open. Plus it marks the source as modified.

If there isn't an RFE, I'll open one. This has bugged me for a very
long time.

Thanks,
