Re: CL enhancements

[qappdsn@xxxxxxx]

Chris,

My remarks weren't directed at you or Mark it's just that the thread had gone 
on long
enough with general "whining" and your post just happened to be the one I hit 
the reply
button on.

I too would like to see an ability to externally define variables and have 
subroutines,
and if I can't get that I'll settle for a /COPY like function to incorporate 
standardized
code.  For example at the end of every CL program we have a message forwarding 
process in
the event of a CPF error not expliciatly handled within the program.

But even at that, a subroutine is just another call and a display file 
declaration can
give you external variable definition.
