RE: When was SELEC introduced?

SELEC came along in the very early 80's when ASNA generated RPG 2 1/2 as we
called it. That's when indexs was also added. 2.1 came later when IBM
finally got off their kisters and realized that the independent world was
going to pass them by. If you want to see evidence of this look at the add
on code that was associated with DMAS, CMAS and MAPICS.

Subject: Re: When was SELEC introduced?

The article started with "The SELEC opcode is a great, recently added
feature in RPG..."
Then followed some example code in RPG III.

If it's RPG III, it can't be recently added, can it?

However, I'd like to know when exactly SELEC was introduced to RPG. Google
didn't turn up any relevant info.

It was released in V2R1.  The GA date for V2R1 was May 24, 1991
