Vern,
That I understand, and I have several "Work-Around-Options":
You may already know them... <grin>
Work-Around-ONE:
1.) Use Alt+R (Rectangle Select) Vertical selection ONLY.
2.) Hold Alt & tap F8 to shift the selected lines over to the right...
Work-Around-TWO:
1.) Add a whole Bunch of blank lines to my source
2.) Alt+R = Rectangle Select
3.) Put my cursor in the desired location. And press Alt+Z to Paste OVERLAY.
Sometimes, I sort of wish there was a Block Insert... <smirk>
Work-Around-Three:
1.) Turn on insert-mode, if not already activated
2.) Hit Home to go to the beginning of the line.
3.) tap the spacebar to space the code over...
Normally, I like the scenario-ONE the best...
PS. When debugging, I use Alt+R (Rectangle-Select) to cut & paste my code in my SQL Editor, to test verify the embedded SQL Code. Sweet!!!
Obviously, I had to load the variables with constants to test my debug statements.
Of course the SEUers, point that out to me all the time... Select with the mouse as Rectangle, and paste as block. What could be simpler?
I have gotten so fast with the Alt+R(Rectangle-Select) & Alt-F8(shift-Right) & Alt-Z (Paste OverLay). That it annoys me when I use other software. <smirk>
My favorite little editor is NotePad++, which has excellent column Editing Features.

The days of only using/knowing one Programming Language and/or Tools are long gone... <smirk>
Once you get use to the navigation of LPEX, it is pretty awesome over all!!! Especially with MDI(Multiple Document Interface) & split screens! <Joy Joy>

I have a thing that irks me - I believe the team is working on some of it - that is the way SQL statements are handled - I often like to create the statement in STRSQL (haven't done it in Navigator's statement processor), then copy/paste it into an SQLRPGLE source - it can really get screwed up. I've learned to take it into TextPad, make sure the content is no more than about 60 long per line, and that I've inserted 7 blanks at the head of each row. That USUALLY works!!
It seems that the editor doesn't handle stuff that ends up in the first
5 positions - and again, I think there is some work on this, just not there in 9.1.1.
So on it goes - and I still get great benefit from RDi. It seems we all land on something we use more than anyone else, and that drives us crazy!
Best to you
Vern

Vern,
Thanks, I need to hear that! <smile>
And yes, I am already on Blood Pressure Medicine... :( <surprise!>
One I missed one:
PMR 82396 Can't see break-points Toggle/between Source/Listing View.
Not assigned to an APAR, unable to duplicate on the IBM support PC.
<frown>
My RDI would stop at break points, with no Breakpoint icon. Once
again, I thought I was losing it... <smirk>
I discovered that if you set a break-point in *LISTING View, and switch back to *SOURCE view. It would stop, but no break-point ICON would show.
