Re: Opening RPG source gives trailing blanks

I just had this issue happen right now, BUT I have no clue what steps
were taken before to cause it to happen because my attempts to recreate
the issue fail. I am currently running RDp 8.0 were as before it was
7.6.

Also, I noticed this occurring in a HTML source member.

Thanks, Matt

Is it consistent? Because I don't see it.

Joe

I see it all the time in 7.6.

I don't see it in 7.6, Kurt; newly read source members come in

trimmed.

I haven't tried 8.0 yet.

Joe

I'm back to RDp 8.0 trial (with a new computer) while I wait for the

license key.

When I open an RPG source member (via a filter, if that matters), the

source opens with trailing blanks. Is there any way to stop this from
happening? It removes the ability for me to press End and go to the

end

of a line. What I need to do to get around this is to make a change

to

the source (such as replacing a space with a space) and then save the
source (which is set to trim all trailing blanks).

The downside to the work-around is that we currently compile our

programs as *SOURCE, and if the source changes, you get that message

in

debug which inspires a lack of confidence in using that source to

debug

with.

I don't recall this happening in WDSCi 7.
This did happen in RDp 7.6 (trial).
