RE: MOVE opcode in freeform (was Strange behavior w/%editc)

Yes, nicely.

I don't understand why people insist on continuing to abbreviate words into
meaningless acronyms when space or size is no longer an issue.  Not only do
I have no clue what tpt stands for now (since I didn't write it), but if I
were the writer and came back six months later to maintain it, I would first
have to spend useless time re-familiarizing myself with what it meant at the
time I wrote it.  Plain english is hard enough to communicate meaningfully,
why complicate it more?

And, no, I'm not a COBOL programmer......
