If you're using long names, that's probably the best reason to ditch the fixed format specs.

I honestly do not understand, why we are still discussing fixed-format definitions.

Please - all together - switch to free form code as fast as possible. Use free form whenever you can. It's even better to throw some free format into an fixed program, just to show, that it's possible to mix.

As long as some are still working with code styles from 1998 - all those, who don't know a bit about RPG and IBM i, will see the language as outdated and superfluous.

So - I want to repeat again - please switch to (full) free format RPG as fast as you can.

Regards,
Daniel
