The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
The standard here has always been either start and end comments enclosing changes or, in rare cases, right side comments, so freeing up the left side sounds good to me.

Subject: Coding in Column 1
I was curious what the community thinks about getting rid of the 'mod mark' concept (putting a ticket/request/whatever # in columns 1-5)? In my 15+ years of RPG, every shop I've been at has marked changed code with some kind of value in columns 1-5. But soon we'll have the ability to 'unreserve' columns 1-7 and start coding in column 1 like most (all?) other languages.
I'm meeting resistance on our team about taking advantage of those columns in that way (especially with the ability to code past column 80). Will any of your teams be foregoing this mod-mark concept and embrace coding starting in column 1?
