Re: Line truncation message - how to avoid disaster

Mark

I couldn't see anything under LPEX preferences. I do see now that it warns me when I go past the record length when editing, and when saving, which is what got to start this thread. ;-)

I usually open from a member - even though it uses a temporary local file, it seems the record length is known.

Is there a way to add a parser to Remote Systems? And, if so, will it have configurable values? There are so many parsers under LPEX but none seem to have a way to configure them. I admit, I'm not able to take too much time to dig around.

The word-wrapping would be a good thing, I think. Maybe CDT does it, but, as you know, I was not able to get it to install. Am waiting for V5.1

Finally, I'd like to see the record length as part of the Properties window, although it is less important, now that I understand the messages about exceeding the record length.

Thanks for your comments and help.

Back to work. ;-( Uh, I mean ;-)

Vern,

I seem to recall that there are some "generic" LPEX preferences.  Perhaps
there are some that might apply to the C/C++ parser, such as maximum line
length.  However, even then, as you point out most editors with a max
length preference do "soft-wraps" of the line.

What about Adrian's comments?  I have observed the same behavior as Adrian
described, albeit with CL not C/C++.

Is the source you are editing opened from a source member - where the max
line length would have been established?  Or is it a local file?  It seems
like if it warns you when you go past the limit, and warns you when you
upload, it is doing most of what it should be.  About the only improvement
I could see would be some kind of automatic wrapping/re-formatting like it
does with CL.
