And "you can avoid supporting that" simply by prohibiting the syntax. I'd consider that prudent as long as it's not documented as supported. An alternative might be to document it by a citation of the C/C++ RTL Ref. IBM has not chosen to do that. Would an RCF suffice or would an RFE be necessary? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
