Re: Length of native source file for RPG members for **free

[Henrik Rützou <hr@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why does people still hang in the 80 char punchcard line length paradigm?
With a modern
editor you may have up to 200 char so why not chose a long length if one
dosn't move the
source-code to the IFS. Nobody says you have to use it for every statement
but it may be
practical some times.
