You can run, but you cannot hide! :-)

As to why things still exist - maybe MI stands for Must be Interminable!

Under the covers RPG400 uses the single CMPNV MI instruction to do the whole thing. The curious can take Brabara's code and compile with GENOPT(*LIST) then look for the relevant BRK statement.-snip-
The docs for CMPNV state that it will "Assign a value to each of the indicator operands (indicator form)." in other words all of the indicators receive a new value - but it might be the same value that was there before.
I am SO happy we got rid of that horrible crap in RPG IV. It will however remain a mystery to me as to why those programs still exist - let alone get maintained rather than converted!
