Re: RDi CL editor and source file record length

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Marco

When I enter source in CLLE and go past the 80th column, I get a bell 
and a message saying I have done that, and that text will be truncated 
when saved.

So the editor knows about length.

I also find that when I move the cursor off the line, it all gets 
formatted within 80 columns.

I checked Preferences - I'm using 9.6.0.6, as well. I typed CL in the 
text box, and one item of interest was this one -

Remote Systems-->Remote Systems LPEX Editor-->IBM i Parsers-->CL

In there is a group of settings called "Automatic formatting", which is 
checked.

And in that group is "Line Length" - it has options of 80, 120, and 
*RCDLEN. This setting is available even when "Automatic formatting" is 
not checked. If you hover over it, you get help text saying something 
about this is the maximum length the CL formatter should use.

I turned off "Automatic formatting", and I still get the message and the 
audible signal, but when I click on another line, the text stays where 
it is. If, on the other hand, I check "Automatic formatting" again, then 
that text was adjusted so that it would fit in the line length.

There is another item I have checked, "One parameter per line" - that 
probably has nothing to do with this, but I mention it, as I like the 
look of it.
