Re: RPT vs RPG

With RPT you can use /COPY members that contain multiple source types and they
will be automatically sorted into their proper sequence.

/COPY for RPGLE does not do this.

For example, in RPG/400 we have a /COPY for each file that contained the key 
list
('C' spec) and data structures ("I" spec) and by specifying RPT as the source
type, the 'I' and 'C' specs would be put in their proper place.

Since RPGLE is the way to go, we created two /COPY members, one with the key 
list
('C' spec) and one with the data structures ('D' specs) and put the /COPY
statements at the point in the program where the code belongs.
