& RPG QUESTION:
RPG was designed for punch-cards, and like DYL260, requires
programmers to write code in specific columns. Not really convenient
when programmers use 3270-type terminals instead of card-punch
machines.
If you are using SPF, you just need to set up a Tabs bar and either
tab between columns or just type a tab glyph character (which you
set). Thus you can type:
Field1\Field2\Field3 etc.
(where the \ is the tab glyph you defined) and as soon as you hit
Enter, the characters will move to the correct locations on the line.
This is no different from entering ASM or COBOL code.
