So just by accident, due to fat fingers, I discovered that the following RPG code does not generate an error:

handle = ls_init(LSOA_COPY + + LSOA_BLOCK + LSOA_REPEAT);

Note the two + operators separated only by a space. What does that compile to?

Most likely the first is the addition operator and the second is a
sign (positive).
