Re: Full Free RPG and modification marks

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Using comments for the mod marks is what one has to do with CL - we do 
that here. For RPG, using the first 5 positions has been successful, 
perhaps a happy accident - seems I have seen in RDi that with RPG type, 
the first 5 position actually consist of 2 values - at least, there are 
2 colors - I checked the color syntax stuff in RDi - for RPG source 
type, the 1st 2 positions are a page number, positions 3-5 are a line 
number, the former is set with black text, the latter is gray text.

In IleRPG code, that area is given the syntax of a comment in RDi.

I just looked at the QUSLOBJ copy member in QSYSINC - IBM has 
modifications in the comment header, where the flag is $A0, for example 
- in the body, these might be marked in the right-hand comment area with 
@A0A for the first change, say.

I don't know if there are any fully-free copy members in QSYSINC, so I 
don't know what those would look like - I checked a recent one, last 
changed in 2018  - still fixed format, and no comments in the body, just 
the header.

Ramblings shall cease - back to work!

Vern
