RE: Free Form RPG Opinions Wanted

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Didn't someone, somewhere publish standards?  Like indentation.  For 
example, Code/400 uses two character indentations:
/free
 dou curtainsforthefreeworld();
   Select;
   When this;
     // do this
   When that;
     // do that
   Other;
     // otherwise
   EndSl;
 Enddo;
/end-free

Then if it gets to be x pages, bust up the logic into subprocedures.  For 
instance "// do this" might become dothis()

You might discuss this with your vendors and see what standard they plan 
on adopting.

Where I work, they won't let us use "Free Format RPG" because they haven't
developed any standards (?) 
Standards for Free Format? Isn't that a contradiction in terms?
