Editeur de macros - Num?rotation des lignes

Bonjour,

J'ai cru comprendre que les num?ros de lignes survivaient au niveau des macros RPP, (en particulier je pense pour g?rer le positionnement entre plusieurs macros qui se compl?tent).

Avec Pacbase, nous avons souvent ?t? contraints par la plage des num?ros de lignes utilisable : 000 ? 999, sans possibilit? d'utiliser des caract?res alphab?tiques pour la partie code (-P), alors que cela ?tait autoris? en partie data (-W). M?me si la th?orie permettait d'utiliser 1000 lignes, comme il fallait pr?voir l'insertion (l'inter classement) de lignes de sp?cifiques ou d'autres macros, on ?tait vite limit? ? quelques dizaines de lignes dans la pratique.

Dans RPP, il faudrait faire sauter cette contrainte et augmenter les possibilit?s de num?rotation des lignes :
- soit en autorisant l'utilisation de caract?res non num?rique (partie code)
- soit en augmentant la pr?cision des num?ros de lignes (passer de 3 ? 4 positions, ou plus)

Cordialement,

Denis FALLAI

    Cela demande à être manipulé.

    Pour la reprise des numéros de lignes, on utilise la partie numéro de ligne de l'éditeur COBOL, qui est constitué de 6 caractères.

    Ceci dit, il n'est pas nécessaire de positionner un numéro de ligne sur chaque ligne de la macrostructure.

    This RFE's Headline was changed after submission to reflect the headline of an internal request we were already considering, but will now track here.
