 >> There are so many varied reporting requirements from management these
days, and the RPG opcodes and printing commands are so
stale and petrified.

I've stayed out of this so far, but personally I'd _hate_ to see the RPG
compiler do anything in this arena other than perhaps facilitating easier
interaction with the many options that are already available.  That means
typeless parameters and a few other enhancements such as descriptors
(something else the compiler team can't do anything much about) so that
these enhanced functions can be more readily developed.

Why on earth do you want this _in_ RPG?  It makes no sense on a system which
we has always worked hard to _remove_ IO dependencies from the languages.
That's' what display files, printer files, etc. are all about.  If indeed
this is where you want enhancements, then you're wasting your breath talking
to the RPG compiler team about it.
