Hi,

I notice that many specify a procedure as follows:

dcl-proc Proc;

dcl-pi *n ind;
parm char(1) value;
end-pi;

code (procedure body) follows

dcl-s x ind;

...

end-proc;

Instead of:

dcl-proc Proc;
dcl-pi *n ind;
parm char(1) value;
end-pi;

code (procedure body) follows

dcl-s x ind;

...

end-proc;

The difference being that in the first example the dcl-pi part has the same
indentation level as the procedure body. For me it would seem that the
second example is more logical, because dcl-pi is part of the procedure
declaration, not part of the procedure body, and should have the
indentation level of the procedure declaration.

Any thoughts?
