Re: Broken formatting in help content

There is a pdf file of the SQL reference in the RDi help located at:

IBM i programming resources > SQL > SQL reference > PDF file for SQL reference

It looks like the syntax formatting is correct in the pdf.

Folks:

Anyone else seeing bad formatting in some of the help content?

Specifically, I'm seeing missing spaces in the syntax for SQL statements.

For example: On the create index help...

CREATEUNIQUEWHERE NOT NULLENCODED VECTORINDEXindex-nameFOR SYSTEM NAMEsystem-object-identifierONtable-name(,key-expressionASCDESC)WHEREsearch-conditionindex-optionskey-expressionexpressionAScolumn-nameFORCOLUMNsystem-column-nameindex-optionsWITHintegerDISTINCTVALUESNOT

Looks like all the syntax content in the SQL help is suffering from the same thing.
