Re: RDI 9.5.1.2 Screen Designer REMOVES CODE!!!

NOTE: I created my QDDSSRC in my library with a length of 262, so I cannot USE SEU to edit it....

This forces me to use RDI 9.5.1.2, no excuse to use ancient SEU...

Because I was using i projects, at least I had an old version to compare and FIND how RDI 9.5.1.2 REMOVED CODE in DSPF!!! WTF?!?!?!?!

Please note the "^" to show the difference...

Since this message board does not allow pictures, I was not able to send the eclipse source compare with in the i Project. So below it is in STRAIGHT TEXT...

This is by no means the FIRST time this has happen. RDI has screwed up and removed my DDS source BEFORE!! Just this time, I have PROOF!!!! RDi 9.5.1.2 should NEVER REMOVED CODE! Unless the developer hits the delete key. Which I did not!!!

So here is a partial source before editing the DSPF:

Sadly, I was working on multiple things, being interrupted as usual. So I have been unable to duplicate this scenario. What crap! Breaking my compliable code, and making me think I am losing my mind! This was NOT a VIRSUS! Unless you call RDI a VIRUS!

What Crap! I do NOT TRUST IT, it has screwed up my DSPF code for the LAST TIME! Unreliable!!! Deleting code on its own!

Not sure how to repeat the error, I was using outline view. And I was changing the screen to allow multiple size formats, to be compatible with other "*WIDE" (27x132) screens. And somehow it wiped out relative positioning...



I don't know the exact steps I did, but it definitely wiped it out... :(



I thought normally, using RDI, I thought it insert comment lines, show it was updated by RDI... Maybe that is only the old WDSC?
