Enhancement Request:
Please consider allowing filler notation (nX) with the WRITE WORK FILE statement.
Example:
WRITE WORK FILE 1 VARIABLE #VAR1 2X #VAR2 5X #VAR3
Reason:
Filler notation is intuitive and gives a consistent feel to the language syntax. It is also more efficient (for the programmer) than using COMPRESSto concatenateseveral variables into a single long variable, or using COMPRESS with "space" variables just to satisfy the WRITE WORK FILE limitation.

We understand the use of 1X 2X, but this could be solved using :
WRITE ... #VAR1 ' ' #VAR2.
