Re: What bugs you about KLISTs in RPG IV?

Bruce,

>>With key list, I know what fields I'm using, how many are expected, etc.  With
a chain containing a variable number of keys, I just don't.<<

You raise some valid points in your overall view.  However, I don't understand
the snippet above.  With the "proposed" new free-format chain, you know what
fields you're using.  As for the number of key fields expected, the klist tells
you just as much as the free chain would.

Just wondering.
