Re: Request for CL, DDS, SQL RPG enhancements

["James W. Kilgore" <qappdsn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For my wish list, I would like to see all of the language compilers,
(CL, DDS, CMD) allow for some form of /COPY.  This helps in the
enforcement of standards, and like most standards they are subject to
change.  So changing a single source member and recompiling would save a
whole bunch of man hours.

Also, when performing a system wide change to a variable I can go to my
dictionary and make the change and recompile the DSPF, PRTF, PF, LF and
RPG and have it pretty much handled, but I have to manually go through
each CMD and CL source members to make the changes.  It would be nice if
the CMD and CL source types could make use of a REFFLD in their variable
declarations.

Lastly, If a source member has special compile options, they could be
included in the source somewhere.  Even if it's within a /COPY type of
member.  Not just RPG, but all the languages.  All the CRT commands.
