On the basis that it will need running more than once – or testing by someone else, I usually just write a command, whose cpp is the program to be tested/run

cmd name = pgm name or something more snappy

cmd ‘apbjfr’

parm *DEC length 6 – etc

2 lines is enough code – plus 10 lines of comment

You put comments in your code? :)

Yeah, definately go with the command instead of calling the CL directly for command-line use..
