Converting to free form

I have noticed a couple of gotchas when converting.  If there are any
characters in CC1-5 the conversion leaves them there and then the
compile complains and you have to go and manually remove the characters
in CC1-5.  We use RPGTOOLBOX extensively and one of the things we use it
for is to color source lines that have been commented out to red.  In
SEU this is extremely helpful when going through a listing you can never
mistake commented code for real stuff.  It is mostly those lines that
bite us.  Also if any programmer put initials in 1thru5 they bite also.
If the compiler doesn't like having anything in cc1-5 why does the
converter leave them there?

 

Thanks
