If so what would your preferred >dereference operator be? Well, I've stated my opinion here before that object-oriented programming should be done using a true object-oriented language, like Java. I'm not really a fan of adding OO extensions to procedural languages since there's always the temptation to stray outside a true object model for your application. Are objects in RPG's future? Yes, in a way. We are adding additional support to make it easier to deal with Java objects and method. I don't know if RPG will ever have more object support beyond that. What's my preferred dereference operator? No preference there - it's all just syntactical sugaring anyways. Cheers!
