Re: Indicators Bad - Alternate to TEST(D) available?

[Jim Langston <jimlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ahh, thanks.  I changed the program using TEST(DE).

A programmer from another division talked to me the other day saying
his manager requested he do all new programming in ILE, and he is 
starting to look at my code.

I have to be sure to dot all my i's and cross all my t's :)

Don't wanna be a bad example.

Jim Langston

Me transmitte sursum, Caledoni!
