What bugs you about KLISTs in RPG IV?

Greetings, RPG fans!

In our survey from the beginning of the year, we found that many
people  wanted to be able to define KLISTs in D-Specs.  It seems
like a logical thing to do since KLIST is more a definition than
a calculation.  But, (without getting into details), we've found
a number of problems with that. So, I'd like to pose a couple of
questions to understand what the requirement really is regarding
KLISTs:

1) What are  the top three things that bug you about programming
   compound keys in RPG?

2) Would KLISTs in D-Specs fix any of those things?

3) What would make compound keys easier in RPG?

Cheers!  Hans
