Re[2]: Regarding Synon

I worked at a large customer in Chicago that used AS/SET. They had several AS/SET programs that would not compile because they exceeded the number of source lines allowed at the time. When we "flattened the code" (meaning taking out all the extraneous "stuff") the source member was less than 1/3 the size and compiled just fine. Taught me to be very wary of code generators and so called 4th Generation languages.

Have not looked at one since.

I worked with my share of Assetized code back in the day. It sucked!

I worked extensively with AS/SET back in the day ... I'm far more efficient writing RPG code directly.
