But Joe, you're back to two different syntaxes which is what you were trying to
avoid in the first place.  And in the specific case of CHAIN, in my last post I
forgot that it allowed something in the result field too.   With the fixed
format version already using factor1, factor2, result fiield, op extender, and
resulting indicators, there isn't much room to add new stuff.

Really, the "new" syntax you must learn for /FREE is not hard.  Will some shops
avoid it because of FUD?  Sure.  But they may just as well say you can't use
CHAINX either.

IMHO,
Doug
