It'd be nice if RPG had a figurative constant that was equivalent to *Allx'00' which worked on all (non-pointer) data types.

Wish I could make the ls command include the CCSID/CODEPAGE attribute in the output.

It's wild that CL hasn't added support for <> or != as ways to handle not-equal logical comparisons. Using ¬︎= is wonky, and using *NE just makes code harder to read. The compiler clearly supports multiple methods for not-equal already, how hard could adding <> and/or != be?

I understand from an implementation standpoint why I can't use 'reset' in an on-exit section, but I sure do accidentally try to do so all the time and then proceed to grumble about it.

Pillow does not seem to want to build for me inside a virtualenv on the IBM i and I don't know enough to know what I'm missing. Feels irresponsible to just rely on the system package?

Pillow resolutely does not want to build inside of a virtualenv. Might just say heck with it and rely on the system Pillow instead. Feels like it's ignoring a best practice to do that, though?

Feels like no matter how many times I unbind keys and try to disable the "Verify" function in RDi, it still keeps triggering and wasting my time. Whoever thought Ctrl+Shift+V should do something other than just be another "Paste" is a monster.

Got curious today to try and figure out how/where decimal positions are stored for Zoned/Packed decimals in RPG. Had wondered if it was like Varying storing length bytes, but doesn't seem to be the case. Otherwise no success so far in tracking this down. Anyone know?
