Re: Highlighting source lines in SEU

Others have described the technique.  But I'd like to offer a
couple of observations:

1) If you want to use this technique for ILE RPG IV programming,
   first set the window to column 5 (W5 in prefix area) and make
   sure the attribute char is in column 5.  SEU automatically
   windows RPGLE members at column 6.

2) When you make an error on a source line, SEU will not display
   the line in reverse image since the attribute char will
   override the reverse image attribute!  You still get syntax
   checking, but errors are not as obvious.  For this reason
   alone, I wouldn't bother with this trick.

Cheers!  Hans
