RE: RPG/400 pgm strange behavior

["Richard Jackson" <richardjackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, you're right.  I thought that was a tiny exception that confused more
than clarified.

I knew about it, but it was late in the life cycle and very little of the
code written for the box used program calls.

An example of other little known stuff, I knew a guy who patched the SSP
WTGT ("where to go table") to do some cool stuff with printers.  It was
always possible to do this kind of thing, just out of the reach of most 36
programmers.  You could also buy an assembler language compiler for the 36
but most people didn't have it or know how to use it.

  Minor technicality, but ASNA's compiler add-on allowed it and IBM
eventually added it toward the end of its life.
