Re: Free format H, F, D and P specs

Dave,

Along with John, you're not alone. That's some of the butt-ugliest code
I've seen lately. Almost unintelligible. Luckily I won't be likely to run
across any for many years to come (we're an ISV and must stick to the
oldest IBM-supported release of the OS).

Maybe it's just the example at that page, but it sure looks ugly to me.
Free form calculation specifications made RPG a lot easier to read for
people coming from other backgrounds. I don't see the same advantage here,
especially with all those key words, which even RPG programmers will have
to learn. I'm for keeping such specifications in orderly columns.
