RE: RPG V?

[Jerry Adams <Jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not if that's the extent of the code.  For simple, short programs that do not warrant subprocedures, I start with /free but never write the /end-free.

By the way, regarding another question, Jon said many moons ago (here or in one of his articles, I can't remember) that in the subprocedure the *only* place that the name of the subprocedure is required is on the P-spec that begins the subprocedure.  After reading that, I have since eschewed the procedure name on both the interface (PI) and the P-spec end statement.  As he pointed out, it does make searching a lot cleaner (whether in PDM or WDSc).

Actually not.  It is not required to have the /end-free. :) 

But you would need: 

*INlr = *On; 

So it is still a wash.

Jon,
You missed your /end-free.  Looks like a wash.

"hard"?

PHP
===

<?php
echo 'Hello World';
?>

RPG IV /Free
============

/Free
Dsply 'Hello World';

That's one line less in RPG!


Sorry - couldn't resist!
