SE56575: RATIONAL DEVELOPER FOR I - RDI - DOES NOT CORRECTLY COLOR RPGLE FREE FORM TEXT

Rational Developer for i 9.0.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Rational Developer for i - RDi - does not correctly color free
  form text when using /if and /endif compiler directives.
  For example, in the following RPGLE program the dsply is not
  always shown in red , nor is the /if defined always displayed
  in blue:
        /free
         dsply 'bla';
        /if defined(FOO)
          dsply 'blub ';
        /endif
        /end-free
  According to the RPGLE reference->chapter 2 (Compiler
  directives), these all need to start in column 7.  When I first
  enter the /if defined(FOO) and hit enter this line is displayed
  in blue, the same as the /free.
  I then add dsply 'blah"; <enter>, and it shows up in black.
  The /endif<enter>,  shows up in blue the same as /free.
  If I then close the program and reopen it, the /if, and /endif
  are now in black and the dsply is in red.
  

Local fix

• Move code to column 8 then it is colored correctly.
