rpgle.vim

What does it contain?

Free-Form ILE RPG bundle for vim, which contains syntax highlighting, syntax folds, auto indent, more match words and a few sensible keys is remapped.

Indent

One should modify g:rpgle_indentStart to adjust initial indentation level, see :help g:rpgle_indentStart for more information.

There is support for automatic indentation. An example is:

dcl-proc myProc;
    _

The cursor is located at _ and the indent was inserted automatic when pressing enter after dcl-proc. When typing end-proc; the indentation will be decreased.

With procedure interfaces indentation will only happen if the procedure takes an argument:

dcl-pi myProc;
    _

If one type end-pi; the result will automatic become:

dcl-pi myProc;
end-pi;

select-when-other-endsl will be indented like this:

select;
    when;
        a();
    when;
        b();
    other;
        c();
        _

As soon as endsl is typed it will be aligned with the initial select;.

if-elseif-else-endif will be indented like this:

if a = 1;
    a();
elseif b = 1;
    b();
else;
    c();
    _

When typing endif the indentation will be decreased.

Currently proper SQL indentation is missing:

exec sql
select *
from a
order by 1 desc;

See :help ft-rpgle-indent

Syntax

Keywords, procedures and built-in functions will all be highlighted.

See :help ft-rpgle-syntax

Syntax Folds

The following folds are supported:

- if       -> endif
- dow      -> enddo
- dou      -> enddo
- for      -> endfor
- select   -> endsl
- dcl-proc -> end-proc
- begsr    -> endsr

See :help ft-rpgle-fold

Match Words

The following match words are supported:

- select   -> when     -> other   -> endsl
- if       -> elseif   -> else    -> endif
- dow      -> iter     -> leave   -> enddo
- dou      -> iter     -> leave   -> enddo
- begsr    -> endsr
- dcl-proc -> return   -> endproc
- dcl-pi   -> end-pi
- monitor  -> on-error -> endmon

See :help ft-rpgle-match-words

Movements

rpgle.vim takes the liberty to bind [[, ]], [], ][, gd, [{ and ]} and tried to make them useful for ILE RPG programming.

[[ and ]] will jump to the previous or next dcl-proc while ][ and [] will jump to the previous or next end-proc.

gd will search for the word under the cursor from the previous dcl-proc.

[{ and ]} will jump to the associated block opener, i.e. standing inside an if statement and pressing [{ will bring you to the if, pressing ]} will bring you to the endif.

See :help ft-rpgle-movements

Omni Completion

rpgle.vim provides a naive omni completion that will attempt to suggest completion for compiler directives and header, declaration, calculation and procedure specifications.

Calculation specification completion requires generated generated tags.

See :h ft-rpgle-omni
