Re: Slow opening CLP's?

Short link on Using CL Procedures:
http://www.rpgpgm.com/2015/08/using-cl-procedures.html


Since 5.4, that could run on the discontinued AS400 from Last Century. CL can do structure programming, such as DO WHILE, DO UNTIL and has subroutines. The AS400 was last manufacture over 18-years ago. Wow almost 2-decades!

There is No Excuses to use "GOTO" in CL programs. Except if you have a love for spaghetti code!

Of course, the defunct hardware AS400, is INCAPABLE of running a powerful OS like IBM i 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 or even IBM i 6.1.

The IBM Power system can run OS IBM i 6 & 7 (6.1, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3)

PS. I like to point that out to the punch-card hold outs, who love discontinued hardware. Just as they remember punch card machine Model Numbers. Welcome to the 21st Century!

Wouldn't that be called sub-procedures? CLLE can do that now!

I like that thought.  I'm inferring something like RDi interpreting a tag in a standard comment.    

Not sure how much investment is going into CL.  If CL gets improvements, I'd prefer things like parameter passing to subroutines and local variables.

If it was a special form of comment, the compiler wouldn't need to know 
about it.
