Here's another one I can't get my head round.
I understand the difference between passing parameters by reference and by
value.
When we started ILE, the powers that be imposed on us the keyword CONST
systematically for all parameters destined to be used as input parameters.
That way, you can't change the parameter in your program. YOU can't but your
programme certainly can!.
Anyone else had this problem? What's the point of using CONST instead of VALUE
apart from performance issues? I'd say that if I see VALUE on a parameter I'm
sure that it wasn't intended to be changed in the procedure.
