Re: DOU/DOW for READ Loops

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oh, yes, I just hate KLists.  And you can't use a data structure in a KList.

This defininately should be changed.  Even in S36 you could use a data
structure for a key field, since the file was internally described.  I guess you
could internally describe the file in RPG IV, but who would want to?
