RE: RLU (vs) handcoded prtf DDS

I'll admit I've found one use for RLU.
If you have a bunch of overrides you need to use when running the
CRTPRTF command (different forms size, forms id, overflow lines, maybe a
save or hold) then I use RLS to create the printer file and it saves all
this crap at the end of the source.  You can go ahead and change the
report the old fashioned way, but when you're ready to recreate the
printer file it will make sure you don't miss any of the create options.
