- TITLE: Turning Syntax Assist off in EPM.
-
- DESCRIPTION OF SYMPTOMS:
- In an EPM session, when opening certain files with a supported
- language-specific extension (.C, .CMD, .PAS), hitting 'Space' or
- 'Enter' will automatically invoke syntax expansion. For example,
- when editing a rexx file, typing '/*' will invoke EPM to generate
- the proper syntax coupling '*/' after pressing 'Space' or
- 'Enter'.
-
- SUMMARY OF RESOLUTION:
- Syntax Assist can be turned off dynamically by entering the
- command: EXPAND OFF on the EPM 'Command Dialog' command line or
- you can make the changes permanent by creating a PROFILE.ERX file
- containing: /* EPM profile */
- 'expand off'
- and turning the 'Profile On' in the Command Dialog.
-
