RE: Difference bet. Primary and Full procedural file.

Doug,

In order for someone to write and post an alternative to be judged, we would
need a judge that didn't know the logic cycle, to prove the point that
maintenance is more readily "do-able" when the modern RPG programmer can
read the code and doesn't have to know an obscure "cycle running in the
background" type thing...

Just my two bars of gold pressed latinum,

Ron,

Of course not.  But I'm still waiting for somebody to post an alternative to
my
code which they recommend instead of the cycle.  You've done two replies now
which do not suggest an alternative.

All I'm asking for is code to back up the claims DIY is easier to understand
and
maintain.  I took the first volley.  I'm still waiting for the ball to come
over
the net.

After that we can compare DIY matching records logic with full exceptions
handling. <g>
