Re: enhancement idea for ILE RPG IV free-form

Am I remembering rightly?

Comments anywhere do not need the specification character
Blank lines anywhere do not need the specification character
Actual calculations DO need the C in position 6

Also, comments up in non-free form areas can use // in positions 7 & 8 - or any 2 successive position beyond 7 - something like that - that's funky, because comments in free-form cannot start in position 7 but they can outside of free-form - IIRC

Later

To repeat, the C is not required to be in column 6 on a fixed format calc spec line.

You've lost me. When you say there's a lot of code out there in fixed format that doesn't have a C in column 6 - are you referring to other specs, like D- and F-specs? Or are you referring to column 7 with its /? Ok, so Pos 6 = ' ', and Pos 7 = ' ', and the line isn't blank, then it's a free format C-spec?
