Hi Jean-Louis, just a quick question, assuming that due to your research and experiences in the Activation arena: would it be possible to have the REPLY keyword statement for routines?
There are quite a few cases, where using routines and multithreading would seem to be easier to comprehend and to apply, if REPLY was available for routines. ---rony On 03.06.2011 16:45, Rony G.
