RE: Qcmdexc

It would be interesting for David to start a poll on how many of us 
actually have working RPG II programs out there.....
I'd bet the results would be scary.

Tommy,

This may be true Rob but this has been this way since RPG III (maybe
> even RPG II...been a while...)
>

For the record, RPG II defaults stand-alone numeric fields to zoned
instead of packed. This causes the need to jump through extra hoops when
calling between RPG II and RPG III/IV programs.

Data structure subfields default to zoned, unless otherwise specified.
(And in RPG II, numeric subfields of a DS had to be zoned. You could not
define them as P or B.)
