RE: Editing with WDSc vs. CODE and Carriage returns

Mark,

Thanks for the tip about WordPad. That does format correctly. I am using
LPEX. I went back to Code and when I open the IFS file from CODE, I get line
numbers. When opened from WDSc RSE I do not get them. In this case, I do not
see line numbers in WordPad either. I do not think they are in the file but
rather an artifact of CODE. Weird that the new software doesn't generate
line numbers. Probably a setting I haven't figured out yet. RF

Rick,

1)  I suspect that the LPEX editor only shows the line numbers if the file
you are editing has them in it.  Is that the case?

2)  You should be able to use WordPad instead of NotePad, or any other
decent text editor for that matter.  You might as well just get used to this
as I experience the same problem in virtually all XML files or readme files
I get these days.  I just make habit of always using WordPad.

There are a number of excellent free alternatives like TextPad.

Two quick questions about WDSc V5.

1) I used to edit iSeries IFS files used for intranet applications with
Code. When I did so, I got line numbers in the code editor. Using RSE I do
not get line numbers. I found a checkbox labeled HIDE Line Numbers and it
was not checked. They appear hidden anyway. How do you get them back?. FYI,
line numbers DO appear when editing traditional source files in QxxxSRC of
the iSeries.

2) I also periodically would edit the same IFS files with either CODE or
NOTEPAD, simply by right clicking on the object. Today, when I did that to a
file recently editted by WDSc, I got a big surprise. The text was a jumble
and appeared to have unprintable (squares) characters  where the lF/CR would
be. As such, it would appear that once you edit with LPEX, it is impossible
to use any other tool on this file other than LPEX. I'm a little worried
about that, since we all have not adopted it. Is there a setting that says
"Preserve PC editor ability" which will cause WDSc not to "trash" the file
from the perspective of these other tools?

It is amazing what all is in this tool and otherwise, I am loving it.
