Re: RDi 9.5 announcement

Vern, am I to understand that, with an upcoming TR, the RPG compiler will
recognize source statements that are 32000+ characters on a single line?

The mind boggles.  The question is, how many are at least going to test
this by creating a 32766 long source file and and writing one line of code
that goes to the end?  Be honest!  I know I'm going to try it.
