RE: CL pgm and pointer variables

["DeLong, Eric" <EDeLong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve,

Are you nuts?  Pointers as command parms?!??  I've heard Hans lament ever
adding pointers to RPG.  I shudder to think of the mess we'd have if
pointers were a standard data-type in commands and CL.....

Why cant the technical people at ibm just fix the problem?  Allow pointer as
a data type in commands and cl. And throw in support for data pointers while
they are at it.
