We have a number of copybooks (mostly D-Spec stuff) that are pulled into
programs at compile time. Some are **free format, some are regular free
format (column 8), and some are old fashioned RPGLE (D in column 6). I
haven't seen any issues with these getting mixed together in a program.
Apparently the compiler is smart enough to handle it but I thought I'd see
if anyone knew of any issues or anything to be aware of.
