Re[2]: Regarding Synon

Hi Jim Oberholtzer, Thank you for jogging my memory.
I agree with your observation! I remember source members so large that they would not compile, hitting IBM limit.
Me:
1983 - 1988: RPG II on System/36
1989 - 1989: RPG II 1/2 pre-processor by BPS, to write with RPG III opcodes on System/36
1990 - 1991: Synon on AS400
1993 -1995: AS/SET on AS400
1995 - 2008: JD Edwards World code templates and code generator for JDE World ERP.
2008 to present: JDE EnterpriseOne developer suite on IBM Power running IBMi.
+++++
Jim Oberholtzer, 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.
