It is very time consuming to code this way. However,
you do end up with self-documenting code.

Bob,
In all the places that I have worked without standards, I have applied the
standard you refer to with variables names. It's great. Additional, I
don't rust DICTs I look at the EQU item for a true description of what the
field is and what it does.

One of the programming standards I've seen names all equates with a
trailing $. System subroutines start with a $ and I thought this was a
pretty slick way of knowing instantly that it's an equate, not a
variable, while browsing the source code.

That is - to be polite - a "unique" way of thinking about EQUATEs.

Maybe that was a Microdata "rule", because I was taught the same exact

It's funny you should raise Microdata. I was taught to never use EQUATEs
unless I wanted to create a relationship between both sides of the equation.
e.g I'd use the following:

Was this instructor trained in Computer Science or General Semantics.

Yes , very helpful, but those should be EQUATEs, not assignments.
Equates of quoted texts, CHAR(27), and even concatenations of these will
all be resolved to strings by the compiler. Nothing gets executed at
runtime.

Excellent! Thanks for the include code. Very helpful.
