RE: Clever UNIX/C Constructs

[D.BALE@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Honestly, I will be very surprised to see anyone using variables this long.
Why not just allow us to use:
     Add 1 to CurrentYearOpenOrders
Oh, that's Cobol, isn't it?  <g>

Mispelling variable names isn't restricted to the example you provided.  You
could have very well mispelled your variable in your += example.

Neither do I type 100wpm.  But I make very extensive use of copy/paste in my
Client Access 5250 sessions.

You find no value in keying and reading this
     CurrentYearOpenOrders += 1;
instead of
     CurrentYearOpenOrders = CurrentYerOpenOrders + 1;

And yes I intentionally mispelled the variable name to
help illustrate my point. I don't type 100 words a minute,
so not having to type repetitive information is also
valuable to me.
