Re: Who the bloody eff still codes CABEQ in this century?!?!?!?

I did actually raise an internal requirement at IBM for both the
COBOL and RPG compilers to allow a user-specified list of "illegal"
op-codes which would have achieved this purpose. The idea was to
make it simpler for shops to impose coding standards.

Could never convince any of my teammates to go for it though.

Our home-grown change management does a scan for this kind of stuff. Then
either our System Administrator (who does the actual promotion) or I take
it back to the developer and have them change it. I assume commercial
products either have this kind of function or have exit points where a
shop can hook in their own code to do it.
