Re: Autoformat SQL in RPGLE FREE

[Robert Clay <zreclay@xxxxxxxxx>]

I know this may seem like a band-aid (and, it is) but it may be a 
smaller headache (until the RDi bug is corrected):

- type/format in iNav's "Run SQL Scripts..."
- add as many blank lines as necessary in RDi to hold the formatted code
- copy/paste from iNav

When I enter an EXEC SQL statement in my RPG (say, for instance, between a begsr; and endsr;) and then press ENTER, (or DOWN, or otherwise try to indicate I want to continue typing on the next line) the SQL autoformatter sucks out all the whitespace between the EXEC SQL and the endsr; and puts them both on the same line. And it keeps doing it after every press of ENTER or DOWN! At least until the SQL statement is complete, anyway. Obviously endsr; is not a valid SQL statement, so I would expect the formatter to not do anything until it can parse the line properly.
