Re: Another Outline Oddity?

For constants we go with the convention of all caps, which I think is
standard in other languages. Although that doesn't help the situation,
the parser would still see AND as a part of an expression.

We use $ in front of exported procedure names. The fight against using $
@ # seems to be in regard to taking the code global. This makes sense for
vendors. It makes sense for international shops. Maybe I'm being
short-sighted in not seeing our code going global? Thing is, I find our
naming of procedures to be incredibly helpful. I suppose we could instead
have them all prefixed as E_ and it would be equally helpful.

Every shop I've been at has used #, though I do prefer "Number" written
out personally.

Though having a shop standard where variant characters ares used in
variable names is a bad idea....

I'll have to see if I can find my copy of Cozzi's "blue ribbion campaign
against $ @ #

Of course, having a shop standard where string variables and constants
always start with '$' helps clarify the code and avoids the

Hi Edmund

If you can fix this kind of thing, that's cool. We have already been
advised since forever NOT to use SQL at the beginning of variable
names,

and not to use reserved words for variables.

Still, this seems like a good thing to be changed.

Thanks
Vern

Thanks Chuck
I didn't catch that this was pure RPG.
I tested it and I see the problem you are referring to.
This is worth a PMR as our lexer is confused. It is parsing an

expression

and sees an And and assumes that it is an operation, not an operand.

RPG's

lack of reserved words make life more difficult for the tooling :-)
Thanks for catching and isolating it.

I have a project that consists of four RPGLE and three SQLRPGLE
source members.

The outline is available for all but one source member which is a
free form SQLRPGLE (V7R1 btw) that is showing 'unexpected token(s)
ignored' tags which I think is disabling the outline altogether.
It's occurring in two places in the code and both are where an SQL
string is being composed similar to the one shown below.

String_SQL = Select + Where +
Q_TXRSTAT + QUOTE + Active + QUOTE +
And + Q_TXACODE + QUOTE + p_TXACODE +
QUOTE + And + Q_TXCHGDT + Today;

Not a show stopper as the program verifier shows no errors and it
compiles. Just odd that the outline for this one program is not
available.

<<SNIP>> the dynamic outline parser is independent of the program
verifier and compiler and does not have deep SQL understanding so
it is getting confused with SQL reserved words as it tries to find
the end of the SQL statement, so it can get back to RPG parsing.

I've inserted the OP just above that most recent reply. I am
confused about the most recent reply, because the code shown is
purely RPG, no SQL at all. That is, the pure RPG assignment shown
is little different than the RPG string EVAL\assignment expression:
X=Y+Z;

So, there would be no SQL parsing taking place, from which the
compiler code can "get back to RPG parsing"; i.e. the compiler
parsing for that code-sample will begin and end as RPG parsing.?
