Re: [WDSCI-L] LPEX Enhancements

I have been playing around with the LPEX more this morning and the CL 
editor is actually a lot better than I thought.

It is not formatting the source the way it does in SEU when prompting, as 
I indicated before.  This is an example of some source:

             Pgm 

             Dcl        &Var *Char 1
             Dcl        &LongParm *Char 2


 Addlib:     Addlible   SomeLib 

             If         (&Var = 'Y') Then(Do)
                Chgvar     &Var 'Y'
                If         (&LongParm = 'AA') Then(Do)
                   Chgvar     &Var '1'
                Enddo
             EndDo

             Chgvar     &A 'B'


             EndPgm      


What it does is start everything in column 14 (so that there is room for a 
full 10 character label before your code.  It then allows 10 characters 
for the command name.  After that, everything is as you type it.  It even 
automatically indents your code for you.

I think I can get used to it, but I would rather start my source in column 
2 then 14 and just put the labels on the line above the code.  There is a 
way to control the tab stops for CL in the preferences, but it doesn't 
seem to take effect.  Although I have not tried shutting down WDSC and 
restarting.
