Hello John,
(sorry to dig this old thread !)
I've just upgraded to the new QDI REXX and QDI XEDIT (I was using ~1997
versions !).
But I noticed some cosmetic problems in the new version :
A few characters of the qdi-ed displayed program are different from the
xedit-ed displayed program (whereas with the old QDI, I had no
difference (except the one due to the left margin of xedit)).
I'm using :
- the QDI REXX and QDI XEDIT from http://vm.marist.edu/~pipeline/#QDI
versions
- an EXEC filetype
- a variable format file (length = 85)
- a z/Vm system
Here's a condensed version of the rexx program where I noticed the
problems :
/*********************************************************************************/
/*...................................*/
/* ABC */
"cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc"
dddddddd = 'ADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD' /*
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee */
'ffff ',
'.....'
/* FGH */
/*
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr */
/*zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*/
The problems are :
- I can't see the C of ABC
- The "cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc" slides 2 characters to the left
- The '/' at the end of the e's is not displayed (whereas the '/' at the
end of the r's is)
- The f's slides 1 character to the left
- I can't see the H of FGH
- The r's slide to the left, and a space appears before the final '/'
- the z's slide to the left so much that the initial '/' is truncated
I left some redundancies if my test file, as what seems to be the same
problem for me may not be the case for you.
(by the way, thanks for QDI, that's a *very* useful tool !...)
If you can't reproduce the problems, I'll send you my test program by
email (sometimes, forums reformat text ...).
Regards,
Michaël
