RE: /FREE /END-FREE

Maybe one day in my spare time. <haha>

Those special characters for highlighting and colors drive me nuts.

Couldn't you write a little program to remove those lines and put it behind a user action?

We have a similar program to remove some special characters and comments in column 1-7 who don't work well with RDi. I run it before editing any program.

I've looked and not found it. I just search for /free and /end-free and replace them with nothing.

Only downside is an extra blank line.

This may be frivolous but I just finished converting an old RPGLE
to /free not **free and I suddenly realized that I was spending a lot
of time removing the /free and /end-free statements for those
areas not capable of being converted (think MOVE and MOVEL, etc).
What I'm wondering is if there is a setting in RDI to turn this off since
we don't need them in the current versions.
