Re: RFE String interpolation for RPG

[Niels Liisberg <nli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Justin, I have already voted for your RFE. Great idea !!

This is actually very similar to my RFE about String templates back from 16
Apr 2018:

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=118923

My RFE also covers the matter that Scott Klement is pointing at, namely the
implementation that is done with ECMA script, that is really nice.
eventually that the string can span over multiple lines and will contain
the newlines from its source. ( Similar to Pythons multiline string
constants )


.. unfortunately my RFE was declined - so let's hope for better luck with
yours !!
