RE: Implicit move

In the context of RPG...(as opposed to Java in which you fist asked this 
question)

Then an implicit move in my mind would be where for example, you have a field 
in a database file named DESCR and define the a similar field in a 
printer/display file with the same name.  You can then read the DB file and 
write the data to the display/printer  without explicitly MOVEing the data.

        READ MYFILE
        EXFMT DSPREC

instead of
        READ MYFILE
        MOVE IDESCR  DDESCR
        EXFMT DSPREC


Implicit moves are generally frowned upon now-a-days.
