Re: Indicating Total Time in Free Form when using RPG Cycle

This is the original email note. I suppose that the FREE opcodes use an
IF statement also.

Thank you,
Nancy

S/3.... Wow, I did not think anyone remembered that system. :)
Now, do you
remember what MFCU *really* meant?

Probably that same

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.

Why not
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.

Subject: Indicating Total Time in Free Form when using RPG
Cycle

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,
