Hi Doug,
Yes, there were 2 issues with Java 21 and the verifier.
NL users would crash, so they should use -NL EN for now.
For the older code with hex codes, use:
On Windows, program verifiers issue errors for NL characters. As a
workaround, add the following in the rdi.ini after -vmargs:
-Dfile.encoding=CP1252
Also, you could turn off automatic syntax checking. That should fix the missing end also.
The issue was Java 21 assumes UTF-8, and our Program verifier and Syntax Checkers cannot handle them.

I am now running RDi 9.9.0.2.
I have noticed two issues in the Verifier.
First, in this shop, some of the prior developers have placed hex codes in column 6 of a Comment line [asterisk in column 7], which causes the Verifier to generate a RNF0257 for each of those lines. Is there a fix/setting change for this where the Verifier won't flag the line if it's a Comment?
I am working on an older program and it looks like the Verifier can't detect when a fixed format If statement is paired with a free-format endif, and also when a fixed format Do-Until is paired with a free format enddo.
Has anyone else experienced this, or is there a setting I should change?
Thank you,
Doug
