Re: Why define files internally (was: What bugs you about KLISTsin RPG IV?) -- RPG400-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

1.    Save some DASD space.
2.    Efficient. Objects are together (pgm & file).
3.    All resources belong to pgm. No external lock, No external shared resouces.
4.    File easily manipulated during maintenance without compiling gazilion other pgms.
5.    There's more if you want more. J

What reason would you have for internally defining a file in RPG instead of
using the external definition?
