Steve,

How does that equate to "it added a lot of procedure call features to the mix"?

All of which are available without using /free too.  So again, just how did this
add "a lot of procedure call features to the mix"?

I'll be the first to rally the cause of finally getting /free -- I was one of
the proponents for it to be the base syntax for RPG IV -- but I don't see the
connection to adding procedure call features.  We've had longer procedure names
since what, V3R7?  Nested procedure names since V3R2/V3R6.  And qualified data
structure field names are not limited to /free either.
