Has there been any progress with Webfocus, when it comes to a Fex being parsed when it is used in the MVS Mainframe Regions and is more than 80 characters.

I find this frustrating because it gets vary dangerous if you open up report painter in this. Report Painter will sometimes move your code around and make it more than 80 characters and when you go to save it, it blitzs your whole fex.

I know the workaround is to use only the editor and code, but if I needed someone else to maintain these jobs or run them It would be nice that if they used Report Painter that it wouldn't blitz them.

Any thoughts

Didn't "we" used to overcome this by creating the PDS with a longer lrecl? Memory a bit faded

Change your focexec libraries to RECFM=V,LRECL=255

Jacks correct allocate with a RECFM V LRECL can be anything upto 32756 bytes

Perhaps the memory isn't as bad as I thought it was

Here it is:
[WORKAROUND] WHERE statement truncated at 80 characters

When I searched for recfm and lrecl, it did not turn up. -- It has '(recfm)' and '(lrecl)', but apparently this service doesn't strip out parens when indexing words. -- But it showed up on a title-search for 80.
