Why do you not like sequence numbers? When there is a problem in the code, isn't it nice to have the system tell you where it is? It's not like RDI make syou look at them.
I think folks that don't like sequence numbers are specifically
against *stored* sequence numbers. Personally, I consider them to be
mostly harmless, but completely useless. I have auto-renumbering on,
and compiler listings have their own sequence number anyway.
But for me, there is zero benefit. Display
of sequence numbers should be handled dynamically by the editor,
and
error messages should report the ordinal line number accordingly.
You can see in RPG IV compiler listings and dumps that IBM had
precisely this in mind.
