Re: Prototyping printf()

Hans,

I have been hearing the same excuse that Rochester has to do something to 
make this work since 1997.  That is a lot of buck passing.  I was told that IBM 
people have less voice on potential enhancements. As suggested, I have 
sent quite a few emails to anyone who would listen at Rochester.  In my 
case it would be just fine if it only worked for RPG>RPG calls.  Save the inter-
language support for the PCML version.  If you were to run your language 
improvements survey at this point, I bet this would filter up to the top.  The 
prior surveys on this were seriously flawed.  They listed variable type 
parameters but had a poor example  that I did not describe the potential 
benefits.

...I think we're all in agreement that we need some form of improvement
in parameter passing and parameter description.  But we're in a
serious case of buck-passing here regarding operational descriptors.
Toronto is waiting on Rochester, and Rochester is waiting on some
other site.  As soon as Rochester gets the go-ahead, we'll have our
bit done in no time!  There are also other good proposals regarding
interface descriptors that aren't getting the attention they deserve...

Cheers!  Hans
