"Align declarations": Line break if the line gets too long

Hi ConjuringCoffee,

thanks for this issue! I now added a new option to the "Align declarations" rule:

This changes

    DATA this_is_an_attribute TYPE lif_example_interface=>this_is_a_type_name VALUE lif_example_interface=>values_for_the_type-first_value.

into

    DATA this_is_an_attribute TYPE lif_example_interface=>this_is_a_type_name
                              VALUE lif_example_interface=>values_for_the_type-first_value.

or – if you'd only allow a maximum line length of 89 or less – even into

    DATA this_is_an_attribute TYPE lif_example_interface=>this_is_a_type_name
         VALUE lif_example_interface=>values_for_the_type-first_value.

This also works in the other direction, moving VALUE clauses behind the type if maximum line length allows for it.

Kind regards,
Jörg-Michael

Hi ConjuringCoffee,

the new option is now available with version 1.5.1 which was just released!

Kind regards,

Hi ConjuringCoffee,

I haven't encountered such an example yet, but of course it makes sense to break the line here. So, I think an option for maximum line length should be added. However, where exactly would you expect VALUE to be moved? Maybe below TYPE? Or below the variable name?

Kind regards,
Jörg-Michael

I think the following two approaches would look good:

    DATA this_is_an_attribute TYPE  lif_example_interface=>this_is_a_type_name 
                              VALUE lif_example_interface=>values_for_the_type-first_value.

    DATA this_is_an_attribute TYPE lif_example_interface=>this_is_a_type_name 
                              VALUE lif_example_interface=>values_for_the_type-first_value.
