RE: CF -Specs (was: "x-Spec")

[Colin Williams <Williamsc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I personally prefer to see a reserved word, just because you know what
to expect then. Also makes it easier if you are using code analysis
tools over your source.

David,

How do you figure?  I'm just suggesting leaving out the EVAL.  The eval
really only exists because of the columnar format of RPG.  With free
format,
it would be simply left out.  Like this

C                       eval    x = (x + 1)
CF x=(x+1)
or
C       KEYLIST CHAIN   FILE1
C                       if      (%ound)
CF chain(FILE1:KEYLIST)
CF if (%found)

This is probably why Hans said that this was quite easy to do.  All you
they
really did was move the extended factor 2 to fill the entire line.

Less reserved words from how I look at it.
