Hi Brian,

you are correct - it's /free and /end-free in an "normal" non-**free member.

But it's the undocumented (??) directive "**end-free" - Simon Hutchinson has written about it on his blog some time ago:

-> https://www.rpgpgm.com/2024/04/end-to-free-format-directive.html

The (old) /free and /end-free only works in members, that do not start with **free.

Forgive the minor correction; for the record that should be /Free and /End-Free.

You can also surround your fixed code in a **free member with:

**end-free

**free

This should work too.
