Which version of Windows?
My colleagues on Windows XP don't have this problem -- it displays a funny little box thing. On Windows 7, I have this same character-shifting problem. So I have to close the member, go in to SEU, find all the hex codes, remove them, and re-open in LPEX. It's a pain.
My boss showed me that if you bring the source over into an i Project, and check it back in, it removes the hex codes. Not sure how well I like this method, but it did work. Personally I prefer to be the one to do this.

Sounds like RDP is simply removing the "non-displayable character" instead of replacing it with a blank. Perhaps there's a property that defines how to handle non-displayable characters in source code...
Personally, I strip out those hex codes when I see them... The IDE does a much better job of this and the hex codes are an ugly hack, IMO. SEU was never intended to support colorized source.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Colour hex codes
Hi,
I appear to be spamming the WDSCi-L list today, so I apologise if it upsets anyone!
I am using RDP 8.0.0.3 and when I see source that has coloured lines in SEU, RDP displays each line of that source one character to the left of where it should be. That is, the C in a normal RPG calculation specification line displays in column 5 for "coloured" lines and column 6 for others!
The source compiles fine but doesn't display in RDP very well. Does anyone know what causes this display problem and if there is a workaround?
Incidentally, I was the guy who wrote this:
http://wiki.midrange.com/index.php/WDSC_tips/MISC#I_have_these_strange_square_symbols_in_my_code. If you are curious to find out what I am on about, there are tips in that page to enable you to enter the hex codes into your source in WDSC (and, by extension, RDP.)
Cheers,
Paul.
