(j3.2006) INQUIRE by output list

[Bill Long]

The INQUIRE statement form used to determine a record size has the 
syntax form

   INQUIRE (IOLENGTH=<scalar-int-variable>)  <output-item-list>

The <output-item> can be a simple variable name.  But the rules for the 
syntax term  <output-item> appear to require that the variable be 
defined.   That does not really seem necessary in this case.   Was this 
intentional?

Cheers,
Bill
