RE: Ellipsis in D-spec

Another point in favor of using RDP for development... I'd HATE to reference a 4000 character variable name without code-completion! Only the idiot who defined the variable in the first place should have to type it all in!

James -

Did you also not know that RPGIV variable names can be up to 4096 character
long?

Given this prototype:

D nextRec...
D PR 1N ExtProc(*JAVA:
D 'java.sql.ResultSet':
D 'next')

I was about to ask why nextRec takes a parameter when called, but
doesn't declare one in the D-Spec, but I found the answer to that, on
page 191 of the V6 ILE RPG Programmer's Guide.

But I still don't get the business with the name on one line, followed
by 3 periods, and then the rest of the declaration on the next line.
Where is that in the manual?
