Re: New RFE for your review

I usually cheat by bring up STRSQL and prompting the "SELECT fields" ...

That gives me a nice list of columns I can copy and paste.

Of course, it doesn't work so well on my newer files with long column names.

I suppose I could query sysolumns....

Buck, you don't use data structure key lists (%kds)?

It's a very mixed bag here. For the really monstrous programs, there
just isn't enough time to go through them line by line and freshen up
the formatting. Generally, only the code blocks that are being
immediately maintained get that treatment. So we have some really old
looking code adjacent to 7.1 TR7 code :-/ I don't stress over that
because I can open up a massive S/36 style program and refresh my memory
as to how truly ugly 3 columns of left side indicators really appear...

I see this RFE as being very helpful for refactoring those blocks of
code we're working on right now. Maybe there is a conversion from CHAIN
to FETCH as we re-engineer the underlying database...
