RE: Right side comments

Bill,
I would have used the
DACTIVE                   C         CONST('A')
instead to keep it a constant.
1)  It documents that this is unable to be changed.  Documents it as a
flag.
2)  Prevents some silly bugger from accidentally changing the value in
line.
3)  And so on.  Maybe you just didn't know about Constants.
Of course
D Active                  C         'A'
or
D Active                  C         Const('A')
may be more readable.

Assuming you're writing RPG IV (you are, aren't you?), you DO have the
luxury!


D  Active                        1    Inz('A')

C                   If        Status = Active
C                   EndIf
