Well, Vern, I'm still stuck on V5R1 using WDSc 7, but maybe it'll do the
same thing. WDSc is good for keying CL - unless one prompts (which, as I
said, I do all of the time) and then it is slow. So I use SEU for CLs.

But maybe I wasn't clear enough about my formatting. For example:

DCL VAR(&NAME) LEN(1)
DCL VAR(&NAME2) LEN(2)

CHGVAR VAR(&FIELD) VALUE('Something')
CHGVAR VAR(&ANOTHERONE) VALUE(&WHATEVER *TCAT &FIELD)

Not separate lines for VAR() and LEN(), just aligned.

But your point about metrics is true. .-) But they wouldn't know a metric
here if it bit 'em in the butt.

In RDP one can get each parameter on a separate line - at least, START on a
separate line - this does make things easier to read, albeit more lines of
code - hey, that makes us more productive according to metrics, right??

I, also, try to line up things. For example, a string the DCLs will
all have the TYPE() LEN() and VALUE() keywords in the same columns.
For me it's easier to read than zigzagging through the definitions.
