Re: MOVEA -> EVAL

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

I am starting to see Barb's point.  Which application would have you doing
the following?
    MOVEA  arr1(n)    arr2(m)
I used option 25 in SEU to scan one of my libraries for the use of MOVEA.
Every use was a string manipulation in which I may have done differently
starting from scratch in RPGLE.

The other program I found it in was written by someone who refuses to use
/COPY for fear they might have 1 defined variable in which they may not
use, and, by the way, how much respect can you have for code that looks
like:
C     SendTo        IfEq      AllInGroup
C     SendTo        OrEq      SupersOnly
C     EMDCls        AndEq     Supervisor
C     SendTo        OrEq      UsersOnly
C     EMDCls        AndEq     User
C     SendTo        OrEq      JobUser
C     EMDUsr        AndEq     JobUserID

Although they do exceed 6 characters in variable names - I'll give them
that.

    MOVEA  arr1(n)    arr2(m)

I think this best solution so far, versus the other alternatives I have
seen, comes from a very knowledgeable RPG person from Toronto. ;-)

I guess we will next degenerate in to threads concerning what the word
"BEST"  means eh?

Simple easy to read code,  that hides the complexities of the task at hand
so that the meaning of the "application code"  will not be obscured by
coding gymnastics.

Hmmm.  Sounds almost like some of the same reasons for Subprocedures.
