Anybody know of any efforts to get checking turned back on in V7R1?

I have found that the line command X=Exclude [or variants] enable me to effectively ignore errors until either I change [e.g. to TXT, or overwrite the R in RPGLE to x] and then reset the source type or exit editing; then using the S=Show variants to get the line(s) back, along with their syntax error.

When exiting without having effected the source-type change, always being sure to change the "Return to editing" to "N"=No in order to override that error-correct-assist feature, /knowing/ that I expect those syntax errors and that I am purposely choosing to ignore them. Unfortunately, unless something has changed, there is no CHANGE nor SET invocation from the Source Entry Utility "Command line" to reset the Source Type of the member being edited; only using F13="Change Session Defaults".

I became very proficient in doing that navigation to change the source type, from having often coded records after a //DATA command within CL a source type, but wherein those data records were non-CL source and thus would be flagged with syntax errors. Effectively, coding multiple source types within one source member.
