Re: CL Parsing/Wrapping -- WDSCI-L

Vern:

Actually I get the message after position 100...I see where the value is set (in this case, to 112). It seems to be breaking around position 80 or sooner. This lead me to believe there was a separate setting for this. This isn't a big issue but it has me puzzled.

What happens when you type past position 80? Do you get a message about
"One of more lines exceed the text limit"? If so, the WDSC is assuming
the standard length for CL source or 92. In that case, there is a
command you can use to change it in that editor window - not
permanently, if I remember correctly.

While your cursor is in the editor view, press Escape. The cursor will
go to that command line at the bottom. Enter the following there -

set save.textLimit 112

Now it should format things according to your 100-character limit.

I am currently working on a new CL program that will accept a line length of up to 100 characters. When I enter a command with parameters, the LPEX Editor splits the line as it should with a + sign at the end for each continuance. It seems like it is splitting the line early though; I've had several examples where the last parameter could easily fit on the same line. I'm trying to locate the setting to change this in the Windows, Preferences section but can't locate it. I also tried looking up information online to no avail. Can someone direct me to where this setting is, or to the file where I can manually change it? Or is this one of those "I have to learn to live with it" scenarios? (We are looking to go to RDi 7.5 next year.)

Also the parser just LOVES inserting a bunch of single quotes around some stuff in a statement where I am concatenating several items together, including the single quote itself (which I enter as ''' to get that). In one instance it surrounded a literal and had nine single quotes to the right of it. It only needed four (three for a single quote reference, plus one to actually enclose the literal in quotes). What is causing this odd behavior? (It also makes the first issue above more noticeable.)

Using WDSC V7.0.0.8.
