Re: RPG Cycle

[fkolmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

You said 'turn off' , what do you mean by 'turn off'. IMO not having P
or S files
effectively turns off the cycle.
In any case every programming language has a cycle of sorts, to start
and end a
program. Even the OS has a bootstrap program that is a 1 loop cycle.  I
do not want
to count Angels on heads of pins so this is my last comment.
Do you seriously think I am not aware that the cycle exists, show me a
'BATCH'
program that uses the cycle without using P and S file (no fair cheating
by using the
EXCPT or UPDATE or WRITE op code). It was EXCPT that first broke the
cycle.
