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

Nancy

Most of the free-form operations are the same or very close in name to
the fixed ones, as I recall.

And yes, IF can be used in free-form. I haven't looked into the IFxx
things, and those are just messier anyhow! I suspect they are not there,
since they depend on being in separate statements, I think.

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

Thank you,

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,
