Hi,
I have been using the CTRL-SHIFT-F formatting option introduced with RDi 9.5, and it works well apart from a few little things.
If you do not select any code lines then press CTRL-SHIFT-F, RDi goes into some infinite loop and needs killing. I think this was mentioned before, but I thought I would note it just in case.
If you format the code and there is embedded SQL in there, the formatted SQL changes so that the second line (after the exec sql) is not indented. If you type in the SQL line then the standard formatter rearranges it according to SQLRPGLE preferences, but if you use CTRL-SHIFT-F (intentionally on the SQL lines, or otherwise) it then rearranges it to its own preferences.
If you format some code with a FOR (RPGLE) statement in it, the FOR is sometimes dragged back to column 6 and RDi then insists the line is an F-spec for fixed format RPG, even though the lines around it are free-format and formatted correctly. See this snippet:
(Select these lines)
----> // Send emails as well, if applicable
----> If w#SendEmails = *ON;
----> For w#bkno = 0 To 1;
----> processedCount = 0;
...
----> EndFor;
----> EndIf;
(then press CTRL-SHIFT-F)
----> // Send emails as well, if applicable
----> If w#SendEmails = *ON;
!!!!>For w#bkno = 0 To 1;
----> processedCount = 0;
...
----> EndFor;
----> EndIf;
(first 5 columns are just my notes and are not in the actual source)
Finally, if you try to format the same lines of code twice, you get an error above the LPEX command-line: "Formatting failed due to "null"". Usually I can work around this by changing the selected lines, but sometimes it then formats a couple of unselected lines below the selection.
Has anyone else seen any of this? (RDi 9.5 on Win7x64, over IBM i v6.1)
-Paul.
