RE: Assembly programmers do it a byte at a time

That's good for C, but even those procedures with INLINE won't InLine when
bound to an RPG IV program, right? (That wasn't my original point; I just
don't want people to think if you use an inlined C function it will inline
in RPG IV.)

C has an inline feature.  See the INLINE parameter on the crt commands. 
You can get it to inline automatically with 
  INLINE(*YES *AUTO)
or you can explicitly say which functions you want inlined with
  INLINE(*YES *NOAUTO)
and then using #pragma inline to specify the functions you want inlined.

(It's true that RPG doesn't have an inline feature.)
