RE: No Subroutines (was Re: Debugging many subprocedures)

Thanks, Paul.  That's exactly what I was referring to.  And while this
is an absolutely wonderful capability, the compiler gives you no notice
you that the conversion is occurring, which could lead to inadvertent
performance problems.  For example, you probably don't want to call an
API over and over with a 65535A CONST parameter.

I wonder if we ask Barbara nicely if she would give us some optional
severity 00 messages when this occurs?  Perhaps a compiler option like
*IMPCNVWRN for "implicit conversion warning", which would generate some
nice mellow severity zero RNF errors when such a conversion takes place.
