RE: Batch Formatting of CL Code

Except that you loose comments that may have been in the code.  (unless that

Sure.

Compile the CL source
RTVCLSRC

Personally, I'd rather have a utility that reformats the source so that the

nicer, something like you see in the code that iSeriesNetwork does (maybe
only certain authors?)

I do a lot of manual formatting.
