I think you're missing the point here.  More 'Opcodes' (is that more OS/400
commands?) isn't the problem.  To most of us who want enhancements 
multiple file support isn't the thing that's needed(if you're doing I/O's
use a language that was designed for it like RPG or Cobol (can you believe
I said Cobol jon?))   

What we are asking for are SUBROUTINES and Data Structures and other 
variable types.  

I really need the equivalent of externally defined structures in RPG.

I would like to define a CL structure (via a file format) and have it
define the subfields automatically(&fields).  That way if I change the
variable I change that portion of the structure.   With out having to 
hard code like this; %SST(&STRUCTURE X Y) positions. 

And not do logic control like this;    GOTO LABEL
