The only enhancement RPG IV needs to make it more usable today is to allow a COMMA to be used as the parameter separator. No single thing causes me more delays in development than this one "feature". I would give up function overloading, semi colon at the end of statements in free format, and a bunch of other things for this one capability. Oh for the days I could write: Callp GetLibInfo('QGPL',nObjCnt, nLibSize) Instead of... Callp GetLibInfo('QGPL':nObjCnt:nLibSize) Even today, I still enter a COMMA, compile the code, then have to figure out what the error is telling me (because it never says COLON missing from expression) it says things like "expected token not found" or "right parameter missing from expression" and I look at the code (with the COMMAs in it) and it looks perfectly fine to me, then I realize, COLOTIS is the cause the problem Bob Cozzi Cozzi Consulting www.rpgiv.com -----Original Message----- From: rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Raul A Jager Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2003 10:58 AM To: RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries Subject: Re: Please vote for Syntax check in /FREE!
