Re: Suggested CL enhancement - <>

Must be a real bear to program without parenthesis, asterisks, equal 
signs, plus signs, etc.  :-)  But I get your point.  Trying to find the 
term for language dependant characters.  (ignoring the fact that I am 
assuming that a simple letter t is language independent).

So, y'all think that 
CHGVAR &ANSWER (1 *PLUS 1)
would be easier to read than
CHGVAR &ANSWER (1 + 1)

(other than the fact that my display converts the plus sign into 
alternating left and right facing arrows, if you look close enough)

I've worked in many shops that have standards to not use
special characters for any clp/rpg coding or field values in
any file.
