Re: Outline View Quit Working

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is well -known that we should avoid naming things the same as the 
keywords in RPG.

Now the parsing process has been changed  in recent versions of the 
editor, because of the fully-free capabilities now. I believe I heard 
Barbara speak about this at COMMON or at one of the CAAC meetingsI 
attend. Something like the first word on a line has to be limited to a 
special set - Barbara maybe will chime in on this.

Vern
