Is there any reason why the DDS specs between SPACE and SKIP keywords couldn't be sorted by column number for printer file relative records?
I have a record format in my display file (relative record) that consists of two lines of headings (text constants). When I drag "Text Constant" from the Constants palette between two fields in the record format, RDp assigns a fixed line number to the text constant and places it out of place in the source specs - it places the source spec after the last SPACEA keyword in the record format. Why?
I also noticed that the code that RDp inserts at the end of the DDS contains the same record formats multiple times. Why?
------------------------------
If you think about it, relative PRTF records use SPACE and SKIP keywords to
position themselves with respect to the previous field in the DDS, So it
doesn't make any sense to sort them. Absolute PRTF record using row and
column values just like DSPF records and can be sorted by simply right
clicking on the record background and selecting "Sort:" from the context
menu.
