Subject: [WDSCI-L] Hex attribute characters in rpgle source member column 5 issue

All,
RDi 9.0.0
I have a large number of source members that have a Hex attribute character (usually x'22' in column 5 of the source member for when SEU was the primary source editor being used.
In RDp 8.5, this showed as a reverse image square in column 5 and the rest of the source line being displayed properly.
In RDi 9, the source line is shifted one column to the left, and no indication that the line has a special character in column 5.

Is this an Eclipse change or did something change in the LPEX editor?
