Re: Cycle programs and control level breaks(to make you feel old)

I started programming in rpg on the System/3 in 1974.  Have been a
consultant since 1977.  (Ok - at work I'm known as the History Channel).

At

that time the cycle was a godsend.  As time went by it became less and

less

relevant - except for report writing.  For report writing it was the

best,

and as far as I can tell, remained the best until SQL data access became
dominant.

In 1974, my dad was only 17. Still 4 years away from my birth year.  :-)
Happy Holidays.

I may be young but I have seen these cycle programs.  Once had to maintain
one and I thought it was h3ll.  Trying to follow the control level breaks
was enough to take up my day.  :-)  But there have been times when I
thought it would be neat to try and write a report using the input primary,
I've yet to do it though.
