RE: Forum mangling code.

I don't think it's the forum because the sample Alan used was in a previous email from him and it came across indented to me. FWIW, I'm using Outlook 2007. Before the powers that be "upgraded" us, I used Thunderbird; can't swear to it, but I think the indentations came through fine there, too.

I'm not a real pro with all of the @#$% options in Outlook, but it may be some setting. Or the email reader pert se.

Does anyone know a way to keep the forum from mangling code?



You post a piece of code and it comes out like mush with all the blanks
compressed. Virtually unreadable.



This (Period added to keep from screwing up):



....Exec Sql Open C1;
....If SqlState <> cSqlStateOk;
......ERRH_Throw('CPF9898' :
........................CPFMessageFileName :
........................'Open of Cursor C1 failed');
...EndIf;



Becomes this:



Exec Sql Open C1;
If SqlState <> cSqlStateOk;
ERRH_Throw('CPF9898' :
cCPFMessageFileName :
'Open of Cursor C1 failed');
EndIf;



Why does the forum do this?
