Syntax Editor
Locked
 
|
Within the bounds of a DEFINE and !ENDDEFINE block, I wish that the syntax editor could show pretty colors for my command syntax, so that at 3am my eyes might make better sense of things. Sleep is overrated.

Real programmers set text to green and the background to black. ;-)

I concur!
My kludge is to comment out the DEFINE and !ENDDEFINE, but IMNSHO that should not be necessary. I suspect this could be fixed with minimal development effort! --

When the SE highlighting and error checking
was done, we didn't have the time/resources to include macros, old-style
abbreviated commands, Python programs, or R programs. You can request
this as an enhancement at the recently established RFE (request for enhancement)
site here.

Macros, python, R color coding aside - the standard syntax color coding is very tempramental in v23. When there are no error in syntax, it flags in red font. When a valid key word is in syntax it fails to color highlight it. In both cases if you simply make a very small tweak such as adding a space and deleting it, it then corrects itself and highlights correctly.
