Wow! Ran into Edmund, and he knew about my formatting problem...

On RDi 9.5

I change the indent from 1 -100, instead of *MAX. And then the indenter works fine, no issues! Cool! I thought I had to be missing something.

I will notify IBM support on my PMR, later that I guess this can be closed.

Thanks!

PS. So many great features update in RDi 9.5, now I am drooling for the next update. Love this RDI IDE! It makes programming fun, fast, efficient, and more important, enjoyable!

Hi,

I wanted to mention that the "FORMATTER" Ctrl+Shift+F did NOT actually get RDi 9.5 to blow up...

But, AFTER running the "Formatter", which includes tons of Right-hand comment past column 80. It blew up AFTER I did the Ctrl+Shift+V, "VERIFY". That is when RDI 9.5 crashed/blew-up.

I sent screen prints to IBM support for the PMR 35067,442 Formatter cause RDI to crash. It was AFTER I did the Verify, after the formatter. Just to clarify.

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!
