Re: Cursor jumping after compile?

Since we are talking about idiosyncrasies of RDI, has anyone else seen the behavior in CLLE program source where the cursor on a new line jumps to a column in the middle of the new blank line instead of lining up with the existing lines.
In my current CLLE source it seems to be column 51.

You don’t make mistakes and I always find things in the LAST place that I look!  We should team up!! 😉

I was told that it is supposed to go to the line associated with the first message in the Error List, or something like that.  If it is not exactly how you expect that could be a good idea for a, well, an “Idea” at the IBM Ideas portal.  Or you could open a case and I can spend some real time looking at it.  FWIW, I thought I had a case where this was discussed but I can’t seem to locate it - my memory for trivia is longer than the list of current discussions with dev’t 😉

There is also a compiler APAR to fix the event file from being flooded by RNF7031 messages - in some cases at least that makes it faster ...

That appears to have fixed it, however ...

IIRC the cursor is supposed to be positioned to the first message, so

I was seeing the cursor jump even when there were no errors in the code
(you know me well enough to realize I don't make misteakes :) ).
