Then again, you assume wrong. Sure, I'll be quite happy to admit that sometimes you need some complex coding to replace in /FREE what you could do simply in fixed calcs. But I would argue that if you're mixing data types (which is I think the biggest source of code expansion), you're probably coding your app the wrong way to begin with.


On the other hand, overall, there are now more ways to code things simpler in /FREE than in fixed calcs. For example, in keyed I/O in V5R2, you can list the search arguments directly instead of having to move them to a KLIST. And in general, you have a better chance to code things on one line now than before.

Cheers! Hans
