We have a lot of code that uses a combination of MOVE and MOVEL to do--
rudimentary concatenation. I purchased Linoma at a previous employer
and loved it but I don't recall if/how it handled those cases. Maybe
I just never got bitten by it.

Subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] Conversion to free-form
I've heard that argument before, and I'm not sure I can come up with
examples that couldn't be configured. I accept that there are
non-simple MOVEs, but not sure that they couldn't be transformed into
an eval statement, even MOVES from numeric to string fields or versa-vice.
Maybe I should check the boards before raising this issue. Sorry.
Any question as to which list it should be in?

Hi Duane
As to why the ADD, Z-ADD, MOVE are not converted? For one thing, those
do not have a direct equivalent opcode in free-form - no MOVE, for
example. It does seem that Z-ADD could easily be changed to an
assignment - MOVE operations are so varied in their use and result
that changing to assignments is difficult in the extreme.
