RE: Visual RPG vs. Other Visual languages was ->RE: Is RPG available on any other platform ?

Hey Rob,

After 20+ years of RPG coding, I learned something just last week from Mike
Cravitz that I had never seen in any other example code before.  That was
the ability to stick constants (the D-specs) right in the middle of
procedure parameters or ds specifications.  I always thought the first
non-blank declaration type encountered in d-specs signaled the end of the
previous set of related d-specs to the compiler. Apparently, not.  Works
just fine and presents better documentation, IMO anyway.
