RDI 9.6 Code Assist Bug...

Hi,

I have discovered a code Assist bug in RDI 9.6.

First a Data-Structure:

dcl-ds MSGPDT qualified;
MMDDYY zoned(6);
MM char(2) OVERLAY(MSGPDT);
DD char(2) OVERLAY(MSGPDT:*next);
YY char(2) OVERLAY(MSGPDT:*next);
end-ds;

Here is my code where I am getting Code Assistance:

kdate = %dec(%date(%Dec(msgpdt. ):*MDY):*YMD); // Convert MDY to YMD

Using Code-Assist, Ctrl+space Bar, I am able to select the "MMDDY" sub-file! COOL!!! <Joy Joy>.

But, after selecting it my code is REFORMATTED! OUCH! Notice it breaks the code format!!! <frown>

kdate = %dec(%date(%Dec(msgpdt. o YMD
MMDDYY):*MDY):*YMD); // Convert MDY t

So, apparently the code-Assistance is BROKEN...

Disappointment, oh well, not working... <sad face>
