Now, do you remember what MFCU *really* meant?

Matching Records????
Now you are REALLY going Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

back!!!!

:)
But when did you last use Look Ahead fields????????? :-) or how about
field
level testing for + - 0 ???

Ahhhaaa, those were the days.

Is'nt RPG great?
You have the best of both worlds...the Cycle when it is appropriate,

and

full procedural (walk through the file yourself) when that is the best

fit.

just:

CL9 CALLP (whatever)

At least this way one only has the one disjointed calc-spec.

A couple of years ago I reached into the Wayback Machine and actually
coded a program using level breaks *and* matching records. Could

have

(probably) done it without using the Cycle, but it was soooo much

easier.

All,
I have an RPGLE program that prints a report and uses the Cycle for
Level Breaks.
Other than breaking out of free form to indicate Total Time

processing

using CL0 If *InLx, then back to Free Form until the

end

of total processing with /End-Free, CL0 EndIf, Is there

any

way to do this only in Free Form?

I know, the RPG Cycle is *old style*, but sometimes, it is the best
tool for the job and I do not want to roll my own level breaks here
just to be "modern".

Thanks,
