Hello all,
We have a large number of RPGII source code programs at thie shop I am at and I would dearly love to have these in a more up todate format. A rewrite is not going to be acceptable because of the time involved. Purchasing a package is not an option.
The batch and report programs can be easily changed to RPGIII and then run through the CVTRPGSRC. No problem there.
I'm having more difficulty changing over the screen programs. They are all designed to use s/36 display files and the display files are all program described and the display files are the primary files
(FWRK CP F 1020 WORKSTN )
I presumme this was standard in a S/36 environment.
Is there anyone out there who has gone down this murky road before me who can offer some tips, suggestions or (best of all) a utlility. I'm not sure how to code a display file as a primary file in RPGIII or ILE
Thank you!
