RE: Column Sensitive Editing

[mcumming@xxxxxxxxxx]

Brian,

Unfortunately, as it stands the tabbing is hardcoded and not accessible to
the user of the product.  So I'm afraid that you're stuck with tabbing for
now.
I'm looking into possibly providing an option (maybe in EXTRAS) that would
allow you to skip over the indicators and zip right to the factor 1 entry
for the next release.

Hello Hak,

Thanks for your timely reply.

I'm a newbie to CODE/400 and just trying to get comfortable with the editor
and it's features. Since I'm not sure that I would actually use this
feature
I can easily wait for the next fixpack to receive the macro.

A user interface for the tab settings would be great but I would be happy
for now just to be able to modify some code. Is the intelligent tabbing
contained in the rpgle.lx file or some other file that can be modified
directly by the user?

I'll try using the Smart Enter feature again. My problem is that I like to
leave blank lines in my code to separate the logic and when using the Smart
Enter I'm frequently having to tab back and erase the 'C'. However, I just
realized that I can use <Ctrl-Enter> to insert a completely blank line but
then pressing <Enter> or <Ctrl-Enter> on that blank line puts me back at
having to press the extra tabs. (Would you care for some cheese with that
whine? :-))

Thanks again for your reply and thank you for all your efforts with
CODE/400.

Brian.


P.S.   This reply was originally sent on Thursday afternoon but apparently

Well,  Brian:
   this is a problem with the column sensitive editing menu item in SP3.
I must admit that the code change was integrated into SP3 with other fixes,
but with no intention of releasing the function. As a result, one macro
file extra\colsedit.lx is not packaged into SP3.
This should be corrected in the next fixpack. If there is a need for this,
I can send you this macro file.

As for tabbing to Column 12 in RGLE, currently there is no user interface
provided. I am told that there has been request for this feature and we are
considering it for. maybe next release.

Please Note that "Options->Language edting->Smart enter" will allow you to
enter at column 12.

I am trying to activate the column sensitive editing feature.  When I click
on the item in the Extras menu I receive the message "The EXTRAS menu is
now
used to change the setting. CODE FIELDS is no longer used." and the column
sensitive editing feature is now checked but not activated. I now click on
the menu item to remove the check mark and I receive the same message. The
menu item remains checked and the column sensitive editing is not active.
Any ideas?

Another question. When editing an RPGLE source member is there a way to
turn
off the tab stops for the left hand indicator columns (cols 7&9) and have
the cursor move directly to the factor 1 column (col 12)?

TIA,

Brian
