Then never, ever learn Java.  Because a significant number of Java methods,
especially those for Java Beans, execute exactly one line of code.  These
are the setters and getters which are used to encapsulate access to object
attributes.

I know it's a somewhat different discussion, but if you ever move your
service programs from being procedural to being object oriented (which
became quite feasible with the introduction of the %ALLOC BIF), then you may
just have setters and getters.

So never say "not ever" <grin>.
