RE: View Indent vs free form

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Have you looked at View,Indent on fixed form?  Has it helped resolve any
issues you might have with incorrect do loops, if structures, or the like?
Wouldn't you like this capability with free form?  Are we to assume that if
someone manually indents their code then it is correct?

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
