>I disagree Aaron.  I like not having to scroll past the end of the screen.

That would be purely up to the programmer that wrote the code and your
screen resolution.  Right now, using WDSc 5.0 with the RSE tree and Outline
open on either side of my source, I can see 33 spaces past column 80.  That
means I have 33 potential spaces to enter code so I don't have to code like
this:

       nodeList =

         QxmlDOM_Element_getElementsByTagName(

           pNode: %Addr(pName): Qxml_CCSID37: %Len(%Trim(pName)) );  

or 

       ShipControl.PackageIdentificaiton_rangeEnd = 
         #CtoN(
           DOMXPath_getAttrValue(shpCtl:
             'PackageIdentificaiton/rangeEnd': *Omit) );


If I code like the above it should be by choice/standard, not because of the
RPG compiler.  I totally agree that people could make source look real ugly
if there wasn't a limit on how long a source line could be, but you can make
code look ugly in any situation, so I don't consider that a valid argument.
