I've split the names before, but I used an ellipsis to do it. Come to think of it, those long names I split with an ellipsis did not otherwise contain a period. I had not up until lately had a really long name with a period in it like that.

Note that splitting on the period has been allowed as long as the long
names have been AFAIK.

I think they're working on that. I opened an PMR about
qsysinc/qrpglesrc,jni which has that same issue and kills the parser.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] ILERPG syntax parsing oddity

Ran across another thing that does not parse properly in RDi but
does compile. Frankly it's ugly and I did not think it WOULD
compile, but it did.

In a program I have included an include. There's a yellow triangle
next to it that says

Multiple markers at this line
- "." expected instead of this input
- unexpected token(s) ignored

I finally figured out that it meant not ON this line, but in the
member included by this line.

Went to the include and found this:

d functionName...
d pr extproc( 'functionName' )
d parm1 like(someStructure.
d Name )

I did not think the name in the like() keyword split on the period
would compile but it does. The parser hates it though. I don't much
like

looking

at it either...
