Re: Are level checks still useful?

Technically, this is a "program described" file, not an "externally 

described" file

Let's not get hung up on semantics. At least, not yet. For all practical purposes, it's using a "d" spec with the extname() keyword to pull in the file layout from an external definition. Who cares if you don't code an "e" on the "f" spec?

As far as I am concerned, this "technique" is equivalent to telling 

someone to "Close your eyes and step on the gas!" while driving a
car...  :-o

How is this technique different from using sql select into :data-structure ... where the data-structure may point to an externally defined data structure?

Thanks for your response. I'm just throwing out the idea for consideration.
