Dennis,
I have it on reliable information (R:azzak is here with me as I
type)
that the R:Chautauqua edit of RRBYW12
will include all kinds of nifty-neato gadgets along
the line of your question.
Stay tuned.

Subject: [RBG7-L] - General Questions
In reviewing RRBYW9 (and there is certainly a lot of clever stuff there) I was looking for some of the housekeeping items. In the code below and the menu choices:
1. Main Menu operation
LABEL Start
...
EDIT USING RRBYW9MainMenu
LABEL Done
...
There is no Quit To command_file every time the user returns to the Main Menu to "free up resources"? No longer a worry in 7.x?
2. Each form SETS and CLEARS those variables needed for that form/function. Global variables, Configurations Settings, etc., seem to be at a minimum?
3. I couldn't find housekeeping items such as deleting all the $$$ files?
4. Proper way to Exit? When you choose Exit, the app runs:
CLOSEWINDOW
EXIT
RETURN
But you can also just close (click on "X").
EXIT in something other than an external command file use to be a no-no. Seems fine now, thanks.
5. LBNL, the Reload choice is "Under Construction". What is your recommendation in that regard?
Some developers just run Unload and then Input the BKP file but I always thought that was normally if your system tables were damaged.
TIA,
Dennis
