C style assignment of variable values

["Eric N. Wilson" <doulos1@xxxxxxxx>]

Hans and Company,

Would it be possible to make the following expression valid in future
versions of the compiler???

EVAL    C_NumRecs = C_MailFlags = C_UserFlags = 0

And no I do not need to put a statement terminator on the end of that :-)

It seems that evaluation of this sort of expression should be easy when
evaluated from right to left (like C does). Not a big thing but I like to do
that sort of thing to reduce initializations to a small block of code. And
yes I know that there are a million and one ways to achieve the same goal,
Named datastructure with initializations etc... I just find the above to be
readable and love to know what I am initializing near the code that I am
working with.

Thanks
Eric
