Line Code too long ... (?)

Former Member — Fri, 23 May 2014 10:15:54 GMT

Hello Guys,

I have a code line, longer than 73 characters allowed by the standard and I can not break it with a line feed. My code compiles and runs well.

My line (90 char.) is in that way:

lo_tools->zif_xx_xxxxxxx_yyyyyyy~o_xx_xxxxx_yyyy->o_xxx->select_s_from_yyyyyyyyyyyy(

Will I have any problems in a long term for any reasons with this kind of syntax (longer that 73 char.) ?

Thank you in advance.

Rachid.

Hi Rachid,

In SE38, please set WordWrap setting to "Disable Word Wrap" and then check.

If program is not showing an error then it will execute properly.

Thanks,

Ritesh

Line size > 72 was introduced with release 4.7, if I remember correctly.

If you are not planning to downport your code to 4.6D or lower, it should be fine.

Hi Rachid,

In SE38, GOTO Utilities -> Setting and un-check "Downwards-Comp. Line Lngth(72)"

Check enclosed snap.

Thanks,

You can change the look of your code by specifying Display and Word Wrap settings.

In the right-hand corner of the editor screen, choose the Options pushbutton (). In the Options dialog box, choose Display.
