Hi Craig,

Coding standards are highly personal. The easy statements like try to use EVALUATE where possible, AVOID using store, Avoid the use of m. on the left side of an equal sign. It will improve performance, All input capable fields should use Select On Entry, and others, I do not recognize these as neccesarely true. IOW these are highly your prefered coding standard and certainly not mine.

Some of your statements are simply not true or significant ans misleading of the unknowledgable reader. Your article is missing the foundation to prove the correctness of the claims you make about foundation. You seem to use standpoint of old and outdated standards that don't seem to have merit in the modern OOP world.

Walter,
