Identifying blocks of nested "IF" Statement 1

[wwg60563]

We have a pretty involved application and it has a large number of nested if statements. It is getting difficult to maintain this program and we probably need to rewrite it, but in the mean time is there anybody who knows a way to easily identify the matching "end if" for an "if" statement. In a C program you can find matching braces but I have not found any way to do this in 4GL.
We do not have the interactive debugger either.

By properly indent the code

Hope This Helps, PH.

Hi:

Although I haven't used it, there's an Informix 4GL code beautifier at the International Informix User Group's code repository:

The file name is infmx_tidy.
