Re: RPG File Input/Output Specs

Shouldn't the RPG compiler track whether such an operation actually occurred in a procedure and if the O-specs are not needed then drop them from its internal representation before it gives control to the back-end?


Sure, it probably should. But it's not just the generated O specs that it would have to drop. It would also have to clean up the dictionary of anything that had been added from the generated O specs and also clean up anything such as LIKE definitions that had been resolved by one of the generated O spec fields.

It should probably also do that for unused I-specs ...
