Re: [WDSCI-L] Slow opening CLP's?

Not so much opening but if you make a large paste, it can take
**forever**....


No inside knowledge here, but when you paste a large block and have syntax
checking on, each command has to be sent up to the IBM i to be validated.
Then the response has to come back--plus it has to pass RDi's validation,
formatting, etc.. I've given up on doing that (it just slows me down too
much). So I run with "Automatic syntax checking" off in the preferences. I
let my CL be syntax checked when I compile. (Or I'll request a specific
statement or block of code be checked by right-clicking and requesting
it.) I can still prompt any commands where I need the help.

And, I guess I need to open a PMR about indenting and comments.
Auto-indent does not respect the comment line above it. It aligns
with the previous valid statement.

if cond(1 = 1) then(do)
/* comment for next line */
<code> // This is pushed left to align with the if */
enddo

I'd sure like the ability to insert a tag to tell the parser not to
auto-indent or align. Of course, the compiler needs to accept it too.
<code>
/* do not adjust spacing of this code */
</code>

If you wrote up an RFE for the "do not adjust" tag, I bet it would get a
fair number of votes.
