I'm chuckling over "recently (a few decades)". I, too, am at the age where I say "recently" and mean something like that. My grandchildren won't understand that for quite a while yet.
I suppose it will go on forever. When I'm 10 000 years old, I'll think "recently" is any time in the previous millennium. --- Bob Bridges, [email protected], cell 336 382-7313 /* Men are qualified for civil liberty, in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites....Society cannot exist unless a controling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere, and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters. -Edmund Burke, 1791 */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of billogden Sent: Friday, December 6, 2024 09:17 Being an old, old, old assembly programmer, I still write the actual code in upper case. However, more recently (a few decades perhaps) I started using mixed case for comments. Is it "needed"? Perhaps not, but I think it makes the comments more readable -- and that can be important. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
