& 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.
[snip of my comment about using auto-tabbing
And you are going to change your edit macro (or have it smart enough to
handle...) as you need to enter/update F/E/L/I/C/O/** specs? (If you
don't know RPG, you won't recognize "**").
BTDT, and it sucks.
I may be misunderstanding you but I fail to see how the need for
DISPLAY Highlighting has anything to do with getting the text
contents into the correct columns (which was the original complaint
that I was responding to).
