I've seen the issue in the past with spaces out to column 80, and I think it worked out that the source control software I was using at the time was transferring the source member onto the iSeries at checkout with FTP or something like that. It insisted on filling the whole field with spaces. I've also seen it if you use the block-selection options (e.g. ALT-R) to select a large amount of code from one member and paste it into another.
If you want a quick way to clean your whole source member of additional spaces and you are using WDSC/RDi/RDP (i.e. an LPEX editor), press ESC and enter the following:
findText replace all regularExpression replaceWith "" \s+$
That will remove all spaces and tabs at the end of all lines in the current source member.

Jeff, I've experienced this as well (spaces out to position 80). You can get rid of them by making a change and saving. Presumably if you're commenting out code, you're modifying the source, so making a simple change (like pressing the spacebar while on an empty line) would be ok.

It also does this (the error) on blank lines. If there are blanks out to column 80, it fails.
When I open a member, every line is always filled with blanks to column 80, meaning the block comment will never work.

The error message comes up if one of the selected lines would exceed
the record length after commenting. The block commenting shifts your
line over to the right by one character (two in free), so the idea of
the error is to preemptively prevent truncation.

I tried the block commenting, but keep getting the following error:

Alt+R to start the rectangle selection.
Hilight selection

I'm already using the block commenting. It's so quick and easy to use.
Highlight, source > comment. Boom, done. Guess that'd be 3 steps vs 7?

I've long had a way to comment a block - use the block selection features.
1. Put cursor in comment position of first line 2. Press Alt-R 3.
Cursor down to end of block 4. Press Alt-R again 5. Right-click 6. Type L-E-* 7.
Press Enter
Ba-da-bing!
Alt-R is for selecting a Rectangle. Steps 5-7 are for putting a fill
string into whatever the selected bit is.
For free-form, insert a cursor-right after step 3 and use // instead
of the asterisk in step 6
I use this all the time to put version markers in columns 1-5 of RPG,
also.
I do like the idea of some auto-comment as has been described. I just
probably will keep using this method, but who knows?

To comment three lines I press Home, Shift+Down (x3), Shift+Left,
where I would expect to press Home, Shift+Down (x3), Ctrl+/ based on
the
other "selected" functions available.column
Another minor issue is that it *inserts* an asterisk at column 7 on
all selected lines (in non-FREE RPG) but I would prefer it to
overwrite
7 with an asterisk instead of moving all op-codes one character to
the right which makes things look untidy in column-specific RPG code.
Has anyone seen a preferences page somewhere for it? I can't find one.
With FREE code, it inserts // at column 8 which is fair enough, but
it still comments all the selected lines *and* the line that the
cursor is on.

This is by far my favorite refresh/fix-pack.
A couple content-assist issues have been fixed that I reported
(SE47725 and SE47784), as well as seeing an RFE I entered come to
life (seeing decimal positions on numeric fields in content-assist).
Very cool. And
also - block commenting! That is so sweet.--
