In response to a customer ? I've been looking at SEU prompting for /Free
format lines.

According to the V5R1 iSeries Handbook, the new prompt type is CF - which is
certainly listed under RPG if you type IP?  However any attempt to use this
results in an error saying it doesn't exist.  Prompting on an existing
free-format line simply brings up the ** comment prompt.

Is this a PTF issue or is the documentation simply wrong?  Maybe it is fixed
at V5R2 ?
