Re: Data Structure Issue

I couldn't agree more!I'm still very slow to adopt using Code VS, struggling on my own with little time to play.I used SEU for the last year and code 100% in fully free RPG.Don't stick to the old coding techniques just because you're stuck in SEU. Follow Brian's suggestion to turn off syntax checking. Get started on Code VS in parallel.Yours truly,Glenn Gundermannglenn.gundermann@xxxxxxxxx(416) 317-3144

(You will not then be hassled with the 'Return to Editing' prompt on exit.)The shortcomings of SEU should not preclude the use of free-format coding.Brian.On 22/06/2022 13:53, Stephen Landess wrote:> Jerry ->> I'm late to the party as usual, but please note that just because SEU is deprecated and doesn't /like/ those free-form specs, as long as you have the proper syntax you can still use SEU to edit the source member.  Unfortunately, since it doesn't recognize the syntax, SEU will highlight those lines of code as being in error...>> The only caveat is that when saving the source, you'll need to change 'Return to editing' from Y to N on the final SEU panel so it will save and exit.> Once you save it the next time you edit the source those lines will /not/ be highlighted as errors unless you actually make a change to those lines of code.>> Regards,> Steve Landess> 512-289-0387>> Jerry wrote:>> First, please bear with me; at least the part that has to use fixed-format D-specs.>> The company will not pop for RDi so I'm stuck with SEU which does not like free-format F- and D-specs.>> Second, we are at release 7.4.-- This is the RPG programming on IBM i (RPG400-L) mailing listTo post a message email: RPG400-L@lists.midrange.comTo subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options,visit: https://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/rpg400-lor email: RPG400-L-request@lists.midrange.comBefore posting, please take a moment to review the archivesat https://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l.Please contact support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for any subscription related questions.Help support midrange.com by shopping at amazon.com with our affiliate link: https://amazon.midrange.com
