Re: How current is Code with V4R5 RPG Compiler?

Hello John,
        The syntax checker for ILE RPG on the host is the same as the
syntax checker for ILE RPG on CODE/400. The problem of the editor
complaining when a character field larger than 32767 bytes is created, also
happens on the host with SEU. However this has been fixed in V5R1.
        The support for /Include directive was added in the host as a PTF
for V4R4.  CODE picked up this fix in release V5R1.
My suggestion is to upgrade to V5R1.

Subject:  How current is Code with V4R5 RPG Compiler?


I'm running Code V451 with SP1. The editor is complaining (RNF0501)
whenever
I attempt to create a character field larger than 32767 bytes, even though
the RPG compiler (V450) supports up to 65535 bytes.

Also, the lack of support for the /Include directive is becoming
increasingly troublesome. We need something done about this. Right now we
have a situation where our compiler, pre-compiler, and editing tools don't
support the same features, and it's very frustrating.

At least SEU used to keep current with the compiler - before Code became
the
strategic tool. Now, the only editor we have that supports 100% of the
compiler options is Notepad! Come on IBM, let's get a service pack out to
address these problems. They're too important to wait for a new release.
