Re: The SAGA or is it Soap Opera Continues

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Frank said he convinced management to get the $2000 versions, not that 
he is currently using it. Hope that clears a little of the air!

Having said that, he probably should get a trial of RDi and see whether 
it handles SQL stuff better.

Also, I must ask whether they really need the SOA version - worth 
asking, as $1200 less per developer is not chump change.

Now, to the precompiler - how can it insist on unique names across 
modules - it creates only one module at a time, right? It can know 
nothing about other modules. We need to hear how to duplicate the 
problem. Give us a short source member and how you compile it, please.

The matter of local variables not usable as host variables - I'm not 
sure that's the case. It MIGHT be that you can't use a local variable of 
the same name as a global for a host variable. But it's been at least a 
week since declaring a host variable, so I forget!!!
