As a minor point, starting with V4R3 section 1.2.2.3 there is the additional line "a length of 10 in order to allocate a 4-byte integer field". You are correct that previous editions did not mention the usage of Integer fields. You are also correct about the majority of the QRPGLESRC includes using binary definitions rather than integer. The hope is to be able to introduce a new source file in the future which provides integer definitions (along with longer names, function prototypes, based structures, and other features of ILE RPG). For compatibility reasons the existing QRPGLESRC includes would, of course, also be available.
