Edmund,
Thanks so much for all the improvement on RDI! It has been GREAT! Like refactor-rename!
Yes, it was **free format. My source is 262, to force me to use a modern tool set like RDI.
Our production source is 112. So I check for code going past column-100, before promoting.
So, I was looking to rename: "Create_XML_Input" to "Create_Order_Merge_XML_Input".
Because it goes through a "Order-Merge" process, more descriptive for the next developer.
The normal global replace with the WHOLE-WORD works great in LPEX, just have to be extra carefully, in case it goes out of scope. Which is why the Refactor-Rename is so AWESOME! Takes some of the worry and double-checking out!
Yes, it would be NICE, but not a "MUST-HAVE" feature. I just expected it to work, since it was a valid "*free" Statement.
Maybe I am the only one who runs into this small thing.
I only brought this up, because RDI is supposed to be 100% compatible with **free format.
I start my coding in column-01! <Big Smile> I do NOT need any punch card limitation!!!!! Never used a punch-card-machine for writing code, that was before my time.
This was coded inside of a procedure, with all the code in column-01. No logic statements in this particular procedure.
My new formatted code: it does NOT past column 70! <grin>
// 00000011111111112222222222333333333344444444445555555555666666666677777777778888888888999999999900000000000

XML_Input = Create_Order_Merge_XML_Input( OldOrd // C016
: NewOrd // C016
: OldRteParts // C016
: NewRteParts // C016
) // C016
; // C016
Yup, they still require us to mark code with "Change-Markers"... <LOL>
PS. This was a SQLRPGLE service program, if that makes a difference in how the parser is interpreted.
I will input an RFE for this tomorrow...

Hi Ken,
At this point we can rename anything that doesn't cause the line after the rename to be longer than will fit in your SRC-PF.
We don't have the functionality yet, to reflow the line, which would also imply formatting preferences etc.
We certainly would entertain an RFE requesting this.
I am a little curious why this rename failed. You current line is 50 characters. If this is not fully free form, it was probably indented by at least 8 characters. How long was your new procedure name and what is the record length of your source-pf?
I would have expected this to fit for a reasonable length procedure name.
HTH

Hi,
I am using RDI 9.5.1.2 and tried to use refactor rename, and I got this
Error:
Renaming across line boundaries is not supported. Cannot rename "Create_xml_input" on line 1874: "XML_Input = Create_XML_Input( OldOrd".
Here is my code:
XML_Input = Create_XML_Input( OldOrd // Line 1874
: NewOrd
: OldRteParts
: NewRteParts
)
;
So, I assume that refactor does not support code that goes across multiple Lines?
Oh yeah, the refactor took a LONG TIME... I guess it wanted to rebuild the outline first or something. Took well over 1-minutes. I guess in this case a scan & replace is better and faster... <LOL>
I was trying to give my procedure a more meaningful name.
Should I even bother to open a PMR on this? Maybe this requires a RFE? Not sure.
