Like i said, because i feel dcl-pi is not at the same level as the dcl-s
etc of the procedure body.

It's not difficult, but i want to use one consistent formatting.
The dcl-proc and dcl-si together specify the signature and i like this
visually to be one declaration.

Maybe i'm a bit confused; in other languages such as C, you specify the
name and parms in one construct.

However, one or the other, i need to adapt one style, and apparantly most
(all?) use the dcl-pi indented format.

So that's what i'm probably going to use also.

Hi John,

I don't follow your reasoning:

dcl-proc // Starting keyword; raises the indentation level to 1

dcl-pi // Starting keyword: raises the indentation level to 2
parm char(1) value;
end-pi; // Ending keyword: lowers the indentation level to 1

-body-

dcl-s field ind;

end-proc // Ending keyword: lowers the indentation level to 0

What is so difficult about that?

Re: Question about dcl-proc

The parm is part of the dcl-pi block, so it's indented wrt this block.
The block itself is part of the dcl-proc, so strictly it would have to
be
indented wrt dcl-proc.
But then the body (i.e. the part after dcl-pi) should be indented like:

dcl-proc

dcl-pi
dcl-end

-body-

dcl-s field ind;

end-proc

but this more practical (and clearer):

dcl-proc
dcl-pi
dcl-end

-body-

dcl-s field ind;

end-proc

The dcl-proc and dcl-pi constructs shoud have been one declaration
construct.
