I don't know if it's any easier or not with free vs fixed. But I know that
RpgAlive is doing it. There were a lot of free demos of RpgAlive given out
at COMMON - (everyone's backpack). And you can download it from their
website. Even though it's graphical it looks like green screen and that
appeals to some elements here. That's right, the users (in this case some
programmers) actually think it is green screen.
Basically, what I am attempting to say here is that it is doable.

In answer to your questions, of course we can't assume it's indented
correctly. And it would be nice for the indent view to include this. It
is just not as easy to create an indent program when you don't start with
fixed columns. It would also be nice to have a "Cleanup" utility that
re-indents those sections for you when you ask it to. But for now, I'm
just
glad they offer the /Free opcode and am anxious to work on a computer where
I can start using it.
Also, Is there a macro for the view Indent that we can modify? I wrote an
Indent program on the As400 that is better than any other indent program
(at
least for me). Instead of just vertical bars, I connect do loops with 'D',
If statements with 'I', Elses with 'E', Selects with 'S', When's with 'W',
For's with 'F'... Basically I'm using the first character of the start of
the group. So it looks something like this.
Read File
Dow not %EOF
D If FieldA = 'Something'
D I Eval A = 'Something'
D I Eval B = 'Whatever'
D Else
D E Eval A = 'Something Else'
D E Eval B = 'Anything'
D Endif
Enddo
It makes it obvious when you start nesting multiple levels which group you
are in. It also makes it easy to know where the else statements are.

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
