ok...but how about chains using KLISTs? you still can't distinguish between those and an RRN chain (not that i use KLIST anymore...but it's true just the same). JMO but the compiler should be consistent on all accounts.


Ya, consistency is good, but not always possible, if you also want upward compatibility. (Although in this case, I'm not sure I'd claim inconsistency.)

KLIST, RRN and single-key field have all been valid forever, and in V5R1, free-form CHAIN supported those three types of search argument. When support for the parenthesized list of keys was added in V5R2, we couldn't remove support for KLIST, RRN or single-key-without-parens.
