The point about long statements is a very good one - the space available for an 
EVAL is much narrower than that of an assignment in free form - about double, 
in fact. Unless, of course, you have something nested 15 levels deep in IF 
blocks!!

Kidding!

Hi Lim, 


I'm planning on requesting management approval for using free form RPG 
in our application. Does anybody has any reference materials about 
benefit of using free form and may be a quick guide of syntax of free 
form that I can use?

A very simple eval statement 
can be over six lines long!
