No - because RPG requires strongly typed data declarations - we didaways with the crap about creating fields in the calcs years ago.
There's some variation on what the term "strong" typing means, but I'm
not sure I'm following. In what sense are D-spec declarations
(free-form or not) "strong" while C-spec ones are not?
I would say D-spec declarations provide more organization and are
arguably more readable than C-spec declarations, but both are examples
of *static* type declarations. Maybe you mean D-spec declarations
offer the capability to define *structured* data?
