Reason for allocating memory

 >>  Wouldn't this be a reason? Or why not?

Absolutely - I would always use dynamic memory when I didn't know how large
something (like an array) might become.  But it is an unusual situation.  If
I want a fixed length field of 256 - I specify it.  The point I was making
was that the programmer in question didn't know RPG - not that dynamic
memory was a bad thing - just that it was a bad _RPG_ example.
