RE: Continuation line problems with 5.1.2.2

Vern,

Thanks for the info.  I might play around with that.  I'd like to keep the
syntax checking on if I can.

I'm not sure that it is the new line causing the problem or the line you
just pressed enter on.  I think it's the line you pressed enter on, but
perhaps you're correct in saying that it's the new line causing the problem.

Perhaps one of the IBM people on the list can jump in with an answer.  (Don,
Eric or Violaine are you listening?????  <grin>)

What's really strange is that sometimes, the syntax checker works and I
don't get an error when continuing lines.
