Re: Compound Conditional Compiler Directives

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think it's a good idea...

Especially in the use case of only including 1 or 2 prototypes...

Maybe today you only need 1 or 2 in one place...but some other place needs
a dozen...

then you've got
/define PROC1
/define PROC2
/define PROC3
/define PROC4
/define PROC5
/define PROC6
/define PROC7
/define PROC8
/define PROC9
/define PROC10
/define PROC11
/define PROC12
/copy PROTOSRC,MYSRVPGM
/undefine PROC1
/undefine PROC2
/undefine PROC3
/undefine PROC4
/undefine PROC5
/undefine PROC6
/undefine PROC7
/undefine PROC8
/undefine PROC9
/undefine PROC10
/undefine PROC11
/undefine PROC12

Now say I need to add a call to another existing proc...what was that name
again?  No way to see it in my program..

What's worse...you open up PROTOSRC,MYSRVPGM and the outline view shows no
prototypes!...
