Re: RPT vs RPG

["Nelson C. Smith" <ncsmith@xxxxxxxx>]

Using the Define/Undefine compiler directives will let you keep all your
different line types in the same source member and copy in only what you
want, where you want it.  In fact, I have one source member, called
IncludeSrc, that contains everything from single lines to code snippets, to
entire programs.  In the target program, I just define the portions I want,
at the location where it should go, and everything works fine (until you try
it with that dratted SQLRPGLE precompiler, that is).
