Re: Impossible to even think about rewriting in RPG

I'd agree but I'd also add that I think part of the ickyness is from
using SEU...

With SEU, /copy "hides" stuff from you; to see it, you've got to open
the /copy member in another SEU session...

Whereas with WDSC, the stuff defined in the /copy member shows up in
the outline view just like locally defined stuff. And it just takes a
simply right click to browse the actual /copy member.

It's yet another place where the program is scattered about, another
piece to maintain.  We'll see how it goes.


I've heard others have icky feelings about /copy, and I think it usually
stems from disliking the practice of copying in calculations.
