RE: *INZSR - I still love you!!!

["Bob cozzi" <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

All these comments are really saying the same old thing, but without saying
it...  The programming environment/programmer's editor sucks for RPG. Well
at least using SEU sucks, and if you're lucky enough to have a big enough
machine to handle WDSC and have been lucky enough to install it
successfully, and have gotten over the learning curve, then things are gonna
be great in the next release (just like always) <vbg>.

Tony,

There are times, (when using the cycle), that *INZSR is extremely 
beneficial versus an EXSR.  Given that I suppose a person could have put a 
comment like (forgive spacing):
C*                        EXSR  *INZSR
Much as I don't use *ENTRY PLIST anymore but instead use a Procedure 
Interface and do the following
     D SKELETON        PI      *ENTRY PLIST
     D  Parm1                              like(something)
to facilitate searching for it.

Re:  *INZSR - I still love you!!!






IMHO, if there are tasks that need to be done at the beginning of the task
at hand, I simply code them at the beginning of the C-specs.  Perhaps this
is because I don't rely on the eternal repeating of the entirety of the
C-specs. 

I could see the enhanced 'neatness' of moving these 'initialization' items
to a subroutine, but beyond that, *INZSR simply adds to the 'mystique' of
the program, by not having to EXSR that initialization subroutine.  At a
glance, it forces you to first look towards the bottom of the code, or
search for the *INZSR text to see the program flow. 

Just my opinion.  Take it or leave it.
