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. :( Bob Cozzi cozzi@rpgiv.com Visit the on-line Midrange Developer forum at: http://www.rpgiv.com
