 >> So the compiler /can/ figure out if a field's going to be too small.  So
we get a message in the compiler output, and 99.999% of us will ignore it
anyway.

Seems to me that one possible solution to this issue would be to have a
compiler option that raises the severity of the "too small" warning message
so that it kills the compile.  Of course you'd still have to remember to
specify it .......

Changing the compiler to allow truncation is a definite no-no for me.  I
always thought he way that RPG/400 worked was idiotic and was delighted when
Toronto added the option to have ADD/SUB/etc. blow up on overflow the way
that EVAL does.
