Re: Compare source feature

Vern,
Your tip is much appreciated, and could be a great time-saver for me.

And, you said my magic word: font

"print section" printed the selected text, but the print font was not suitable
so, for now, I will print from PDM (I like your prior PDM comments).

As you suggested, a way to control print fonts would be very useful.

By the way, my lpex edit font is IBM3270-LAO-regular-12 which
is my preference for some time, but this works only if I have
an active PC5250 session.

Someday I would like to know how to avoid this dependency, and
use the same font for printing source from RDp.

Gary

Another use that I do often is the print command - by itself it prints the entire source - print block does the selection - tokenized off and sequenceNumbers off keep the result clearn

BTW, to prevent wrapping lines of code, reduce the font size - I wish there were a separate font setting for printing, but it seems to take the size from the display font.

Lots of other stuff can be done from the command line.

Dave,
I was stumped also, but I think Mark was referring to the lpex command
line that appears at the bottom of the source edit window.

I found a hit in RDp help with the phrase "Issuing editor commands"

Pressing Esc switches my cursor between the source edit window and the
command line

As to trailing blanks, my experience varies by the copy from source
member, seems to be more often an issue copying from System i Nav Run SQL Statement.

Until yesterday I had wondered how to use that line, so, Thanks Mark

I don't know what that means, Mark. I'm seeing trailing blanks on all lines of the member I've copied from the production library and none on the version that I have in my development library. Where do these trailing blanks come from? Also in preferences,lpex editor, compare, I've ticked ignore trailing blanks!

This may be a silly question but have you tried using the trim editor command to remove the trailing blanks on a line?

Hi,

This feature is suddenly useless for comparing 2 rpg members. All the
white spaces are being highlighted.
Anyone had this problem?
