Yeah, I figured as much. <g>

Re: "removal of the MOVE opcode" - I am decidedly "on the fence" on this one.  
Personally
speaking, I think it will just be a matter of time before I assimilate and 
forget once and for all
that MOVE ever existed.

Re: "lack of SQL support" - I saw SQL mentioned when I wasn't paying close 
attention to this
thread.  Since SQL is in its own little code block anyway, i.e.:
   C/EXEC SQL DECLARE C2 CURSOR FOR                   
   C+    SELECT JOBNUM, JOBDSP, CLICD, NREVN, CCPTYP 
   C+        FROM PCPJOBHDR                           
   C+        WHERE CMPNUM = 30  AND GRPID = :PGRPID   
   C+        ORDER BY JOBNUM                          
   C/END-EXEC                                         
how is SQL affected by /free?

Re: "more a syntactical rather than an architectural change" - I agree, but 
isn't the whole point
of /free to make it easier for the programmer to write understandable code?  I 
understand that
/free will also make it possible to write horrendous code, more so than 
non-/free RPG.  But that's
where standards come in.  Yes? No?
