Hans, > IMHO, the MOVEx opcode is the biggest obstacle to wholesale conversion of > leacy code to freeform. And why exactly is the wholesale conversion of legacy code to freeform necessary? As they say, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". OK, "wholesale conversion" may be over-zealous. But it's certainly conceivable that a forward thinking shop's policy would be to convert programs that are being modified. Having a a %MOVEx BIF would make it a snap. Not having it will probably garner an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" attitude and it won't be done. MOVEx is integral to the use of the language. Opcodes like MHLZO are not. As a software developer I would think that you would wish widescale adoption of the (excellent) work that you produce. The more shops that use "advanced RPG" the better it is for the staying power of the language, and IMHO, the platform. -mark -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
