Deep memory dive needed here!

I'm maintaining code, adding a change to an RPG III source.

RDi at the latest version has syntax coloring, of course, and there is a number in positions 1-4 that has been used for a change request reference.

RDi colors the 1st 2 positions as black, the next 2 positions as some kind of grey, the same syntax color as the entry columns of a File Description Continuation RENAME.

I went to the RPG/400 documentation and found the following: "Page (positions 1-2) and Line (positions 3-5). These are the equivalent of source line number" ILE RPG says those positions can be used as a comment, which is what I always understood.

Just curious if anyone remembers and can say more - I'm wondering now if I can even put non-numerics in those columns!

Cheers
Vern
