I have heard that if /free and /end-free are used, your code can go past column 80
Otherwise, using freeform without /free /end-free - you can ONLY use up to column 80
OR the other way around

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Probably nothing to do with your issue, but a) does that "/free" start
in column 7? and b) at v7r3 and probably earlier, you don't need "/free"
or "/end-free".

Yea, I'm confused too:

DATA-GEN message %DATA(Json) %GEN('YAJLDTAGEN');

On the DATA-GEN line RDi says: RNF5347E An assignment operator is
expected with the EVAL operation.

As I said before the compiles for the module and pgm seem to work.

Is this an RDi issue? It would seem that way but I'm not sure.

I'm confused Jim.

The RDi editor has no idea what release it is working with - so if it is
indeed the editor having issues then it makes no sense.

If it is the compiler then there has to be a PTF difference or something,

Can you post the code that throws the error?

Folks:



First off I verified all the PTFs on both systems.

When I use RDi to edit a program at V7R3 with DATA-GEN the editor
likes it no problem.

When I use RDi to edit a program at V7R4 with DATA-GEN then it
complains that an assignment operator is expected with Eval.

Modules and programs compile OK on both systems.



Any clue?
