claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [MODEL] Issue with column-sensitive RPG code [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Review and refine Claude's instructions and configuration to ensure it understands the importance of column placement in RPG programs.

Guidance

• Verify that the instruction "NEVER move, shift, or alter any source code line that you are not actually updating" and "always script-check column positions" are correctly implemented in the Claude model's configuration and memory notes.
• Check the CLAUDE.md file for any inconsistencies or outdated information that might be causing the issue.
• Consider providing more targeted edits using the Edit tool instead of rewriting entire files to minimize the risk of incorrect column placement.
• Test the changes with a small set of RPG programs to ensure Claude is writing new code with correct column placement before applying it to larger projects.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain specific code examples that need modification.

Notes

The intermittent nature of the issue suggests that there might be other factors at play, such as the complexity of the RPG programs or the specific instructions given to Claude. Further investigation and testing may be necessary to fully resolve the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Refine Claude's instructions and configuration to ensure it understands the importance of column placement in RPG programs, as this is a more targeted approach to addressing the issue than upgrading the version, which may not be directly related to the problem at hand.
