   8. free form RPG reference (Lim Hock-Chai)

I'm planning on requesting management approval for using free form RPG
in our application.  Does anybody has any reference materials about
benefit of using free form and may be a quick guide of syntax of free
form that I can use?

This comment isn't from anything but pure curiosity...

How could this become a "management approval" item? How is it different from using an API that became available for V5R1 or a new IBM command? Especially, how is it different from using a new %bif or any other feature of a language?

Yes, I realize there is a difference in magnitude. But how is something such as magnitude factored into whether management approval is needed? Is there someone who's charged with determining "this is big" and "that is small"?

It just seems strange. I've never had to deal with it. Of course, if approval is always needed for anything new,... Nevermind.
