I once worked in a shop that used to be RPG-II only. In order to do some necessary things, some smart programmers wrote some hard-to-maintain code using tricks. Once they got a CoBOL compiler, that wasn't needed anymore. With that exception, I strongly agree with you that the best programmers created the easiest to maintain code. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
