Amen to that.  I got the syntax check turn off because of that.

And depending how they implement it will determine it's useful-ness.
For instance, if I type a bif that is not found and they insert a line
right below the current line of code telling me my error, well, I am
going to be turning that off because it annoys the heck out of me (they
currently have some syntax checking:

I am hoping they make it feel like the Eclipse Java editor which simply
puts a small tic mark in the far right of the editor and also underlines
the questionable code in a specific color (color depends on the error).
Taking the Java editor approach for the LPEX editor would make RPG
coding extremely efficient (meaning less compiles)!

It would be cool to have a voting ballot for features to include in the
next RPG LPEX editor. . . Hint hint to IBM'ers listening :-)
