Re: RPG Cycle

I understand what you are saying, Trevor, but what intrigues me is how you, and many many others, complain about how hard it is to to stop doing something.

How hard a concept is it to learn "There is generally no need nor purpose to opening & closing files with RPG"?

All modern programming techniques - other than RPG - require you to open and
close your files. We got lucky, but it means we have to learn new
programming techniques when we move to a new language or a new platform. For
you, who will retire in RPG-land, there is no need to worry!
