IBM i Display Renderer Issues

[TheManWithNoUsername]

👉🏻Now trying this for the first time; since IBM have removed STRSDA from V7R6, and noted the following:

1. Variables longer than 80 characters are not being wrapped.
2. DSPATR(ND) is being ignored.

Rendering in Visual Code gives:

Rendering in STRSDA, for same source, gives:

Yes, this is our sign-on screen!

Hi! I converted this to a discussion, since right now we are not taking issues for the renderer. But, if you're able to please share the DDS for this screen and I will make sure it's taken care of in the future release of the IBM i Designer (which will replace the renderer). I am going to be working on it for the next 1.5 months so I can make sure this is covered.

Thanks!

Hi Liam,

Source attached. It's just our sign on screen with some headings / fields non-display & protected since we don't use them, some poor "graphics" to indicate the server name and 4 lines of "messages" that I update as needed via a message file.

If you also want to include the rendering of the message (MSGID) output have fun! That was something IBM never provided in STRSDA, see previous screen shot.

Regards,
Keith
