Re: Question about LPEX Editor behavior

Try placing your cursor in front of '-name', then while holding the shift 
key move the cursor to the end of the previous line (where you want 
'-name'). This should highlight all the spaces between the two, then hit 
delete.

Subject
[WDSCI-L] Question about LPEX Editor behavior






The behavior of my LPEX editor seems to have changed, and I'm missing 
something on how to change it back.

Suppose I have accidentally pressed the Enter key and split a line as 
follows:

000001                           01  WS-MY-VARIABLE
000002                -NAME              PIC X(10).

What I'd like to do is using my backspace key or delete key to remove the 
spaces between VARIABLE and -NAME to put the line back together again.

Now, however, if I position my cursor in front of the -NAME, I can 
backspace to the beginning of the line but no further. It gets to this 
point and stops:

000001                           01  WS-MY-VARIABLE
000002-NAME                              PIC X(10).

Pressing backspace does nothing else. Nor does placing the cursor after 
WS-MY-VARIABLE  and pressing the delete key bring the line back together. 
Basically, I have to cut and paste, which takes me longer and is annoying.

I'm pretty sure I remember being able to bring lines back together with my 
backspace or delete keys. What did I do to change the editor behavior? How 
can I change it so my backspace or delete keys will bring two lines 
together?

Also, I have gone to Window > Preferences > Remote Systems > iSeries > 
LPEX Editor Parsers > COBOL a couple of times now and made sure the 
automatic syntax checking box was unchecked. I definitely checked the 
Apply button. I've even restarted WDSCi and my PC to make sure changes 
took effect (though this should really have nothing to do with it). Yet, I 
still messages popping up regarding syntax while I code.  For example, if 
I split a line, I might see this:

Thanks,
