Edmund,
I followed procedure, and open a PMR#35067,442 for the formatter crashing RDI on one my huge programs with right hand comments, that extend past column 80. Which I assume is the cause of the blow up.
I will work with IBM support, and send them code, that I was able to crash RDI.
Thanks for reminding me to report, so it can be resolved!

Edmund,
Sure, I will do that later privately...
Just don't critic the code... <LOL>

Ken,
On a separate note I was not able to reproduce the crash when doing the verify. Could you send me the offending source member?
Thanks

I decide to test the new built in RPGLE "formatter", a.k.a. Ctrl+Shift+F, and it failed BIG time on one my biggest programs with over 6,400 lines.
It does not like right-hand comments, which I happen to use a ton of those!
It gave my program approximately 1,000 plus errors...
Let me elaborate in simple terms....
Starting in column-8, I put "//" followed by all "*" through the end of punch card to column 100.
When using the formatter, it Shift that code LEFT to approximately column-6. <LOL>
Then I tried to do verify, just to see how many errors it found. Then surprise! RDI 9.5 BARFED! <LOL> Java was started but returned exit code=8096.
I guess the Formatter was only designed to handle the old fashion punch-card with 80-columns, not to 100 columns, like most of us have for our QRPGLESRC. Defined as 112, 6-seq, 6-date, 100-source.
<Maniacal Laughter> :)
No worries for me, I will continue to use the Linoma RPG Tool Box plug-in, which works... <grin>
So, for those coders, who do NOT go past the 80-columns, maybe the formatter will work find for you... <snicker snicker>
Oh well, over all, I am pleasantly please with this release.
PS. I am eating a snickers bar right now, no worries! <Big Smile>

Cool, I found the formatting options...
Window>Preference>Remote Systems>Remote Systems LPEX>IBM I Parsers>ILE
RPG>Formatter....
You can change the number of spaces to indent. I knew it was thee some where. I have Developer friends who do not have a 3rd party inventor like Linoma. So, this will be good to share!

RDi 9.5 built in indenter, Ctrl+Shift+F, is not too bad. It is not perfect, and pretty good for the first pass...
It gets just a smidge confused when trying to indent code with right hand comments. No biggie, but different.
Sadly, because it updates the indent, it also updates all the source dates too...
I like the Linoma RPG Tool box/plug in, it has the option *NOT* to update the source dates, when just updating the code indentation. And since it has been doing code indentation a lot longer, it is more refined.
But, my test run of the built indenter is a lot better than no indenter!
This will be an excellent start for those without a 3rd party plug-in.
Thanks IBM!
