Re: CLEAR and chain

Very cool - wouldn't it be nice if the /free /end-free became optional? Soon?

Vern,

Because there might be those who do NOT know (I had an idea but looked
it up), I'll answer the SR question from the reference manual -

"An SR entry in positions 7 and 8 may optionally be used for operations
within subroutines as a documentation aid."

FWIW, back in the days of RPG II on the S/3 and S/32 it was not optional.
The SR became optional with the S/34 compiler (also RPG II).

Just more arcane gnostic information from someone who was there more than 15
years ago (times two!)...
