Re: Suggested CL enhancement - <>

CUTE!!!

I bet these design points are 30-40 years old. No DCR will touch this one. Besides, it's probably coded in PL/MI, and both people in all of IBM who know that language would not want to touch it.

Must be a real bear to program without parenthesis, asterisks, equal

term for language dependant characters.  (ignoring the fact that I am
assuming that a simple letter t is language independent).

So, y'all think that
CHGVAR &ANSWER (1 *PLUS 1)
would be easier to read than
CHGVAR &ANSWER (1 + 1)

(other than the fact that my display converts the plus sign into
alternating left and right facing arrows, if you look close enough)
