Re: CLP not saving correctly

The 72-characters is from the old 80-column Hollerith punch-card; six
characters were the sequence field. The 12 additional positions are for
date and another sequence number.

I'm not sure where your 72-character limit is coming from - if it is a
limit. But if you want things to wrap within 72 positions, press Escape and
type the following in the little command line:

set save.textLimit 84

You have to put 12 more than the "record length".

You might also need to turn on auto-formatting - I forget. You could also
prompt longer lines - it'll put them into your limits.

I think!

I am in WDSC V7.0.0.6.





The line I am entering happens to be over 72 chars long. I remember
that the LPEX Editor would reformat it to the 72 column length and add
lines as necessary.



It doesn't seem to want to do that anymore. In the actual LPEX editor,
the ruler at the top of the editor goes way out past 80 when it is a
default source physical file with a length of 92.



If by chance I touch a line that requires more than the 72 columns but
can fit in 86, it reformats it back to one line and the save actually
truncates the line.



What am I doing wrong? What option have I somehow disabled?
