Re: INZSR weirdness

WOW...  I am not sure if I want to go back to writting RPG with
matching records...    Some of that was a nightmare...  Been in code
using matching records and all 100+ indicators, I do like having the
structure of Ifs and Dos, along with the %functions and sting
handling...   RPG was came a long way, baby...
