Re: RDi 9.5 announcement

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To reply further to Justin on the record length - length of 112 means 
there are 100 characters available - but only positions 8-80 are 
available for code - 81-100 are for comments.

A source file with 80-character data is actually 92 long, the default.

PDM has a limit of 240 characters that it can process, which is a record 
length of 252. CTRSRCPF allows record lengths up to 32,766 which CAN be 
edited in RDi and for the full length in the new regime. Before the 
change upcoming, even with a longer record, only positions 8-80 could be 
used for code.

Good things happening!!
