Instead of having to code /free and /end-free, to drop into free form

a line-by-line basis, depending on the presence of the "C" in the
column
(for C-specs)? If the "C" is there, treat the line as fixed format. If
there is a blank in that column, then we are in /free format.
I'm very much in favor Mark and proposed it a while back. It is
already on the "to-do" list and I thought there was already a DCR on
this but I may be wrong - one more won't hurt anyway!
Barbara was asked about this at our recent Summit event in Orlando and
if I recall correctly it is not a problem doing it in the RPG compiler
- it is getting it into plan for all the other components that
currently rely on the /Free tags to switch mode. If it was just RPG
it would have happened by now.
I did suggest to Barbara that maybe they should consider adding an
option to allow it and then you'd only have to use them if you needed
one of the tools that depend on it. Trouble is SQL is one of them
apparently and that would cause a big gap.
It really is frustrating though - particularly if you use a lot of
subprocedures!
