Right - simplicity is a good point. But you could of cause also write a complex-to-write-but-simple-to-use program, and then forget all about the offsets and binary variables in it (that's what I call a BlackBox Program). It can be reused over and over without understanding the details. Why? For two reasons (that may or may not apply depending of the case): 1. Functionality 2. Performence 1. Functionality Many functions are simply not accessably with commands 2. Performence Repeatingly doing the sequence applicationRPG-blackboxRPG-API involves much less 'resolve pointer'-work than the applicationRPG-blackboxCLP-commandCPP Henrik ---------- > Fra: Colin Williams <Williamsc@technocrats.co.uk> > Til: 'MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com' > Emne: RE: RPG suggestions > Dato: 13. maj 1999 10:04 > > I dont want to use API for every function, only where its necessary.
