Re: Impossible to even think about rewriting in RPG

Mark,

Not near a WDSc editor right now but, IIRC, there is a "Show Indentation"
option under the Source menu. It opens a second window showing the indent
lines.

In SEU I always used C for scrolling mode. that way I could easily scroll
to wherever I wanted. Don't print source, too easy to just scroll to the
appropriate place. It would be nice to have an auto-formatter in WDSC for
RPG. I like that feature in other languages. That way I don't have to
worry about the indenting being wrong. I can just reformat, and it fixes
things. Keeps everything consistent. At some point there was a feature
that would draw the lines for you. Maybe that was the CODE editor. Thought
it was WDSC, but I can't find that feature any more.

That's why I (as per my rant of many months ago) can't understand why
anybody would want the SEU scrolling mode set on "F" instead of "H": it
seems like if I'm in "F," I always seem, unless I explicitly ask for a
particular starting line, to find the block of code I want split between
two pages.

Likewise, even if I'm working on Java code in Eclipse or JBuilder, I
find myself printing out a lot of hardcopy, simply so I have something
on which to scribble changes, notes, nesting analysis lines, and so forth.
