Hi Thomas,

I thought you were using the RPG Toolbox indent functions, not the conversion functionality.

Hi Steve,

My very personal opinion is that it is too much effort to include formatting in the "RPG-Toolbox". I think that it is way better to have formatting at my fingertips in RDi. The RPG-Toolbox is a one-shot utility for converting RPG code. But formatting is something I need "every day".

Regards,

Thomas.

Hi Thomas,

You can also let me know how you'd prefer the RPG-Toolbox to format them.
I could have my team make an update for that as well.

Send me a direct email with your preferred format. We don't really do
much alignment today. Or include it in the idea.

Thanks!

Hi Steve,

Thank you for your email. I greatly appreciate that you will bring
back the i Projects Navigator. I already noticed that in the last
update. In fact I still use 9.8 because of the missing view.

I think I will add an Idea, tomorrow. The reason for my question is
that I develop a formatter plug-in for dcl-* Statements, because I am
not happy with the output of Linoma's RPG-Toolbox utility. The plug-in
already executes the IBM formatter before running its own formatter,
if started from the Lpex view. It would be great if I could include
the IBM formatter outside the view as well.

Regards,

Thomas.

Send from my Android desk.

Hi Thomas,

Since 9.6, the ISeriesEditorRPGILEParser is required to run the
format action. For now you'll need to open the member, use the
Source menu and press format. (Using Project explorer to open.)

I'd suggest opening an idea.

We are bringing back the iProjects navigator, but I don't think it
was a menu option on that in the past either.

Hi,

does somebody know whether it is possible to call the "Format" (RPGLE
Source) command from a filter in the Remote Systems view or for
files
or
members of an i Project?

What I could figure out so far is that the source formatter requires a
Lpex view. But I did not yet stop hoping it can be called for a .rpgle
file without the Lpex view.

Regards,

Thomas.
