Re: Multi- Occurrence Data Structure

errr... would better examples of deprecation in RPG be MOVE, GOTO, and the use of file members?

The word is "deprecated," not "depreciated." To "depreciate" something is to reduce it in value; to "deprecate" something, particularly in computing, is to declare it obsolete.

Given that multi-occurrence data structures are idiomatic to RPG, deprecating them would be equivalent to deprecating traditional RPG source format, or deprecating The Cycle: what remained would be something other than RPG, and should therefore have a different name.
