Punch Card Freedom ROCKS! No Punch card Sequence Numbers! Indentation could use improvement

Hi,

Using RDI 9.5.0.3, and Punch Card Sequence FREEDOM Rocks!
IBM calls it "Truly Free" RPGLE

Sadly, it "appears" that Linoma RPGToolbox does not yet support indent Punch-Card Sequence FREEDOM/"Truly Free"...

Note, the RPG Toolbox does the conversion, but does NOT appear to "RE-INDENT" the code. Which is the Number one reason I use the RPG Toolbox by Linoma.

So, I have been using the built in Indenter by IBM. Over all it is PRETTY Good! The only thing I notice it messes up is my nicely formatted statements...

I have to do some "nasty" "Word-Wrap" for old Legacy mobile units from Last Century, over 40-years old in Design. But, they are being Phased out! Eventually. Less than 1% left in inventory. But, still have to support the remaining units...

So, here is my nicely formatted code:

// check if Exceed position
If %Len(%trim(%subst( formatted
: Start_Position
: %Len(Formatted) - Start_Position
)
)
)
+ 1 +
%len( %trim(Ary_Word(i)) ) > Wrap_Position;
Start_Position += Wrap_Position;
EndIf;

And here it is after running the Ctrl+Shift+F (Indent RPGLE)
// check if Exceed position
If %Len(%trim(%subst( formatted
: Start_Position
: %Len(Formatted) - Start_Position
)
)
)
+ 1 +
%len( %trim(Ary_Word(i)) ) > Wrap_Position;
Start_Position += Wrap_Position;
EndIf;

Here is another sample:

BEFORE:
MCCRTMRU( #PCM
: @Parm
: @AutF
: MsgID
: @DLV
: Windows_User
);

After Ctrl+Shift+F (IBM Indent)
MCCRTMRU( #PCM
: @Parm
: @AutF
: MsgID
: @DLV
: Windows_User
);


NUMER ONE, it still works!!! But, my nice formatting is lost...
Oh well, not the end of the world or anything...

Welcome to the 21st century, we can start coding without any old 19th century Punch-Card limitations!!! YEAH!!!

Yup, punch-cards were invent way back in late 1800's... <Big Smirk>

Good riddance to Punch Card Limitations!!!!! WooHoo

GO IBM RDI and "Truly Free RPGLE/SQLRPGLE"!!!!!!!!!
