The folks on "IBM's side" on this make it sound like your indentations are
overridden with IBM's indentations.  That is only true if you save the
generated source back over your own.  There may be times to do this, or not
do this.  That choice is ours if the indentation is available for /free
code, but is just not available as things stand now.

I also would like indentation to work with /free RPG source.

Thanks.

I agree with IBM on this one.  The whole point of having /free is so you can
do your own indenting.  Of course a utility (like rpgalive) that does the
indenting for you (when you ask it to) would be nice.  And a utility that
converts all your RPGLE and/or RPG code to the free format indented version
would be even better.  Maybe cvtilerpg will come out with a new version to
do this.

Unfortunately I'm stuck on v4r2 for now.

Well I opened up a pmr on this and this was IBM's reply:
ACTION TAKEN: Because you have specifed /free code does not examine
              the statements and indent them.  This is working as
              designed.

Funny thing is that SEU, combined with the software RpgAlive, will do this.

Looks like IBM lags behind the competition again.

Filled out a Design Change Request and will see if that goes anywhere...

In Code if I do a View Indent on the following it looks the same:
      /free
       for x=1 to y;
       if myproc(x);
       write rec;
       endif;
       EndFor;
      /end-free

Shouldn't it look like:
      /free
       for x=1 to y;
        if myproc(x);
         write rec;
        endif;
       EndFor;
      /end-free
