RE: Line longer than 80 characters

There is an APAR to fix an issue with SQLRPGLE and compiler directives. PTF availability for that fix is currently predicted as late April.

For vanilla RPGLE, or SQLRPGLE without compiler directives, you should be good-to-go now with the appropriate PTF's.

The last I heard about it was waiting for PTF's to implement in RPG
compilers.

Basically, there's a PTF for the compiler and one from the DB2 people for the SQL pre-processor.

7.1:

SI58136 (compiler, target-release *CURRENT only)
DB2 group PTF SF99701 level 38 (SQL precompiler)

7.2:

SI58137 (compiler, target-release *CURRENT)
SI58110 (compiler, target-release *PRV)
DB2 group PTF SF99702 level 9 (SQL precompiler)
