Re: Re: Line truncation message - how to avoid disaster

I really like when using the editor for CL that you can type in a long line
and then the command just gets auto formatted to fit when you are done.
This is nice when adding parameters to a command or building up a long
message with concatenation.

I suppose Vern might have been expecting some kind of similar
auto-formatting for his C code.

I haven't tried free-format RPG in LPEX but I would expect the same there.

When a record length is in effect, LPEX will issue an error message the
moment you exceed the limit while editing.  That's the best time to
correct this.

When saving, the truncation message will again be issued, with the
cursor positioned on the first record in the document that exceeded the
limit and was truncated.  You can correct the line in question, and save
again.  No actual disaster.

Unlike CODE, LPEX does allow you to go over the record length limit
while editing (it just issues the error message), so that you can edit
without problems (inserts may be a problem in CODE when a record limit
is in effect, even though you plan the text to only temporarily go over
the limit and do corresponding deletes afterwards...).
