Re: V6R1 Info

Thank you, Francis.

Perhaps we need to update the dead horse analogy to something more modern:

We have beat this horse to death more than once, and it always seems to
come
back to life.

The cycle is not necessarily a bad thing. Personally, I do not want to
have
to re-write the 500+ programs that use the cycle in my shop.

good. The downside being they make the language even more RPG like. I
think
the language should be less like RPG and more in tune with Java. ( RPG
threading and elimination of the RPG cycle is great news. Would like to
know
if RPG programs can now be called recursively. )
