Re: Strange CL problem with SUBR

I would find it extremely unlikely that _any_ existing code was taking advantage of the fact that the program continued to execute the SUBR statements. Given your mantra, nothing would ever get fixed, just in case someone had taken advantage of something that was a bug.

I understand your intent, but I think you're defending a position that can't be defended...

Well, it would be *less* unfortunate. As I said, some people may actually have code using this quirk -not stopping at a SUBR statement- intentionally, or eve unintentionally, so if IBM fixes is, IBM may actually break the code of that people.

I know it's an unlikely scenario, but I don't like seeing fixes that break existing code. That's one of the success secrets of the iSeries.
