RE: Is this the Free-Format that we asked for?

I'll write C or Java instead.

-|The spacing of the following statements may get garbled by the time you
-|receive this, but I hope you can still see my point.
-|
-|I like the idea of putting a 'C' at the beginning of each free-format line
-|instead of putting a ';' at the end. The exception being if the line
-|continues.
-|
-|RPG V like this:
-|
-|C  Item_00001 = %trim(OEDescrS) + ' ' +
-|
-|%trim(GetPrdId(Spin:Clean:Fiber1:Fiber2:Fiber3:Fiber4:Blend1:Blend
-|2:Blend3:Blend4:0)) +
-|     '_' +  %trim(%editc(Count:'3')) + '/' + %trim(%editc(Ply:'3'))
-|
-|C <next statement>
-|
-|Instead of:
-|C                     Eval      Item_00001 = %trim(OEDescrS) + ' ' +
-|C
-|%trim(GetPrdId(Spin:Clean:Fiber1:Fiber2:
-|C
-|Fiber3:Fiber4:Blend1:Blend2:Blend3:Blend4:
-|C                                   0)) + '_' + %trim(%editc(Count:'3')) +
-|'/' +
-|C                                  %trim(%editc(Ply:'3'))

-|The GOTOs still need to be eliminated from RPG V (along with any other
-|obsolete opcodes).
