RLU ugliness

["Reeve Fritchman" <reeve@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree that RLU creates ugly code but I like SDA's code (after I remove
referenced fields' record format names).

"SPACEA" is familiar to most us who remember impact printers; mechanical
considerations for certain IBM high-speed printers (1403 et al.)
dictated the careful use of SPACEB if you wanted rated printer output.

I still use SPACEA in program-defined reports but prefer SPACEB in
externally-defined printer files; it seems to offer more flexibility
when working with multiple formats.

RLU still creates ugly looking DDS, but then again, so does SDA, in my
opinion, anyway.

If you prefer SPACEA to SPACEB, as I do, then press F22 and then F13
within
the RLU session.  Roll down once to see the "Record Format Spacing"
option.
Change the value to a 2, press enter, and F22 to return to the RLU
session
with the RLU function keys.  From then on, each new record will have the
SPACEA keyword instead of SPACEB.

Hope that helps.

I wouldn't mind RLU so much if it would just create a normal looking
PRTF
when it was compiled.  I don't like the double spacing, and don't
understand
why everything is coded as SPACEB(xx) instead of SPACEA(xx).
