I understand your feelings about this, Daniel. I do also believe that sometimes people have no choice about using free form. That is why I answered the fixed-form way and gave an example in free-form with a statement that said this looks much better.
You didn't include any of the earlier posts - that makes comments less meaningful to me when the context is lost. There is a balance to strike between including too much from the thread and leaving too much out, I think - I, for one, don't always have the entire thread to look at

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working with code styles from 1998 - all those, who don't know a bit about RPG and IBM i, will see the language as outdated and superfluous.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

Daniel
