RE: Code edit errors

["Vernon Reeve" <reeve@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If the source has a Null character, Hex 00, it will put garbage onto the line that contains the Null character.  And you won’t know it unless you happen to look at that line, so when you save it back to the 400, that line still has garbage on it.  Pretty dangerous.

 

The Hex 00 was caused by a source colorizing tool that was putting Hex 00 instead of a “Space” (Hex’40’) into the source when it took the color out.

 

So I wrote a utility to replace the Hex’00’s with Hex’40’s  in all of the source members to be sure we didn’t screw up any source.

An IBM'er was looking for examples of hex codes that crashed Code Designer.
Unfortunately I lost his e-mail.  I found a source file member with hex
codes which, when I clicked to add a named field, crashed Code Designer.  If
you reply to this post I will send you the source file member with the hex
codes in tact.

Phil
