Re: RDi 9.5 announcement

To reply further to Justin on the record length - length of 112 means there are 100 characters available - but only positions 8-80 are available for code - 81-100 are for comments.

A source file with 80-character data is actually 92 long, the default.

PDM has a limit of 240 characters that it can process, which is a record length of 252. CTRSRCPF allows record lengths up to 32,766 which CAN be edited in RDi and for the full length in the new regime. Before the change upcoming, even with a longer record, only positions 8-80 could be used for code.

Good things happening!!

I was in a state of nirvana briefly until I remembered that our source
files here are only 112 long. Still better than 80 though.


Anyone know if "It is a new release so you will need to install it (you can
not 'update' to it). There are new license activation kits." means we have
to buy the full product again?

Justin, that is for real - I got to see it in a beta and it's even
"stranger" looking than the free we have now - and I mean that in a good
way!!

Now we won't be marking changes in the 1st 5 columns anymore, right?

And pasting SQL should behave nicely!
