Re: Compile error - why?

Hans,

There's no good technical reason. It's just a matter of resource

 My real question is why was a restriction put there in the first
place?  Level breaks handle numerics just fine.  Or it can just use a
buffer character comparison (I would imagine that that would be the most
efficient) and ignore field type!



After all, no one uses the cycle anymore, right?  ;-)

 Given the aging RPG coder population and the stigma attached to using the
cycle, I would like to venture a guess that there are *far* more closet (or
open) "cyclers" than the crowd or IBM would care to admit!   :-)
