The only problem being (or at least last time I checked) was that RAID
doesn't understand EQUATES. So you're walking through the code and see
CUST.ADDRESS = ''
and you type
*/CUST.ADDRESS
and it says whatever something like "variable not found" or something I
forget.
Ah yes, but........
If you're "walking" through and you see a "CUST<dot>whatever" you *know* -
or at least you *should* know, if you're at *that* level - that
"CUST<dot>whatever" is, the CUSTomer record and "whatever" refers to a
particular field.
Ergo:
In RAID,
CUST(field)/
gives the required response......
No "downsides" just "another* way......
So is there a downside to using a construct like
A.CUST.ADDRESS = 40
CUST.REC<A.CUST.ADDRESS> = ""
Then RAID is quite happy with it.
