How to configure the alignToClause in the zcodeformat?, Is there a full example of zcodeformat.yaml somwhere

[aBystander295]

I can't manage to align my to clauses with the formatter. And I can't find examples anywhere
I probably did something wrong somewhere. Is there a more complete example than the one in sample somewhere?

Hi @aBystander295,

The zcodeformat.yaml file is validated by a JSON schema included with the IBM Z Open Editor extension.
Look in the VS Code extension installation folder, ibm.zopeneditor-<v.r.m> folder, resources folder, for the zcodeformat-schema-0.0.1.json file.

See also: Formatting COBOL code elements.

By installing the YAML extension, any errors present in the zcodeformat.yaml file should be revealed.
If not, add this to your settings.json file:

   "yaml.schemas": {
        "file:///<path_to_extensions_folder>/ibm.zopeneditor-<v.r.m>/resources/zcodeformat-schema-0.0.1.json": [
            "zcodeformat.yaml"
        ]
    },

Here a sample zcodeformat.yaml file:
zcodeformat.yaml

    enableIndentation: true
    indentation:
      alignToClauses: true             <-- Align TO Clauses cannot be used if enableIndentation is false
      alignToOptions:                  <-- Cannot be used if alignToClauses is false
        alignIntoClauses: true         <-- Cannot be used if alignToClauses is false
        alignToClausesIntoColumn: 40   <-- Cannot be used if alignToClauses is false

Thanks @FALLAI-Denis.
Hello @aBystander295 in addition you can find an example in our samples repo here: https://github.com/IBM/zopeneditor-sample/blob/wazi-main/zcodeformat.yaml. We are adding examples for almost all our features in this repo.

Also, when you start an empty zcodeformat.yaml file you can press ctrl-space to bring up the code snippets. There is a complete template amongst them:
