OE11.2 code editors gripe: keyword capitalization inside quo

Posted by keithg on 19-May-2014 11:13

Having recently gotten back into Progress programming, I found that the code editors in OE11.2 (running on Windows) are a step backwards from those in my previous experience with v9.1.  Specifically, they insist on capitalizing keywords inside quoted strings.  This is extremely annoying.  I often have to open Notepad to type message strings, then copy and paste them into the OE editor, being careful to not hit any other key before leaving that line of code.  Is there any known workaround?

Keith,
 
Are you talking Developer Studio or the Procedure Editor?

There definitely it's a workaround but I can't remember it as it has been a while. I'll try and remember to look for it tomorrow, but fairly sure it is on ProgressTalk.com.
