Why is that I can format string Literals inside of CLLE, but not inside RPGLE?
I am talking about this preference:
Windows>Preference>Lpex Editor>parsers>parser Styles

CL has "Literals" for color formatting...
While RPG, ILERPG & ILERPGSQL does not have the option for "Literals"...
I would think there might be RFE. If there is one, I would certainly vote for that!

Add one! I never thought about this before. It's interesting that the
RPG parser doesn't seem to tokenise things the way the compiler does.
The potentially applicable tokens (styles) are User Symbol, User Symbol2
and Layout Space. Nothing there specifically for literals.

I am stuck using good old NotePad++ to edit my complex literal statements.

This might be off-topic but I don't follow this. I use Notepad++ a lot
but I can't think of a reason to copy literals out of RDI into
Notepad++, edit them and then copy back. Could you share the workflow
scenario you're encountering?
