Don't you HATE it when you have to "dumb-down" your code to meet the

skillset of the worst programmer on the team????



I got dinged for writing



A += 1;



Instead of



A = A + 1;



And they made me change the lines of code to the latter.



And before I get dinged for this response, although the original comment

mentioned India, this comment is not intended to be racially biased but is

in reality, this a matter of fact everywhere.

Might as well go for broke here. My EXTNAME and PREFIX is giving errors.

Trying to make a free format DS for what is "dsPgms" shown below it. Tried

these keywords with the " ' " and without it.



Dcl-ds dspgms PSDS

EXTNAME(SYSAPGPF)

PREFIX(Gv)

End-ds;

// d dsPgms EsDS EXTNAME(SYSAPGPF) PREFIX(Gv)



The IBM documentation I am not understanding for either of my Prototype

declarations.



d EXPPGM PR Extpgm('FIFT09RE')

D



D APCVRMXXX PR ExtPgm('APCVRMXXX')

D EHCORF 10

D EHINTP 1

D @RTCODE 2P 0
