- The\u00a0\/FREE\u00a0and\u00a0\/END-FREE\u00a0compiler directives are no longer required for free-form (but tolerated)<\/li>\n

Why use the new Free Form RPG?<\/h3>\n\n- Readability – new syntax resembles other modern languages and can be understood easily<\/li>\n
- Short Learning Curve – easy onboarding of new developers familiar with Java, PHP etc.<\/li>\n
- Productivity – ease of coding for new and existing RPG developers<\/li>\n
