RE: MOVE opcode in freeform (was Strange behavior w/%editc)

Nelson,

I think the problem is that anything new is, well, new. People in
general don't like change. Which is strange to me, why would you get
into programming if you don't accept change? I don't know.  Yo no sa.

Procedures are the single biggest enhancement to RPG in 20 years--even
bigger than RPG IV itself. Why? Because they provided a way for the RPG
programmer to effectively extend and enhance the RPG language. Now
here's something that is not only "free" (as a midrange programmer
defines "free", which means, "the company paid for it with their upgrade
fees or software subscription") and yet few shops have embraced it. Why?
Perhaps because is requires change. :(
