Re: Survey Numbers(and the bar to using RPGIV)

Hello Joel,

I saw the <g> but others may not be aware that you don't require a longer 
record length.  RPG 
IV will work quite happily in 80 columns of source.  The CVTRPGSRC tool will 
cope also.  What 
you will lose is the right-hand comment section on C-specs but since those 
sorts of comments 
merely reiterate the code I don't see that as a big loss.

Comments should illuminate, not reiterate.  Block comments on full lines are 
better suited to 
that purpose than comments tacked on the end of the line (which you can't read 
without 
windowing to the right unless your device is in 132 column mode).

So just create your QRPGLESRC file with the default record length of 92 and let 
rip.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
