RE: USing long variable names

["Mark A. Manske" <mmanske@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If I understand correctly it would be IE:

D  this_is_a_very_long_variable_name...
D                  s          10  0       (I know the positions are off, you
get the idea)

Unless you mean that it is longer than what can fit on one line (in that
case -
IMHO you need "help" :)  , and I have never tried a variable name longer
than 30,
I am too lazy to key that much - and I got away from Cobol for that very
reason :)

Hope this answers your question

Mark

I'm having one of those days today...

How do I define a long variable name in the D specs?  I need to continue the
name on the next line, but I can't remember how...

Thanks

Mike
