Well, that was probably my fault.  From under my own unoffical-
not-speaking-for-IBM hat (which I normally wear anyways), I regret
adding a couple of specific features to the RPG IV language.  The
more I think about it, the more I think adding pointers to the
language was a bad idea.  Pointers belong in systems programming
languages, not languages intended for application programming.
Pointers are basically the "goto" of data structures.
