Re: IBM Manuals

I assume these examples not to be the best examples of the art of
programming.

They simply show the op-code(s) of the current topic in an example. The
other statements are archaic.

But haven't they to be? If i imagine myself as a RPG II programmer, fresh
out of the woods, and i find the reference. I'd love to see what benefits
the new or altered op-codes would bring. I think i'd be frightened if i see
each and every thing explained in forms of funtction, procedures and so on.

That's not really an excuse for GOTO, or at least not any longer!
