Hi Tom,
at the moment VARPG is still at the level of RPGIV at V4R5, so no free form
support. This is due to resource constrains we have here in Toronto.
The good news is that we plan to bring up the VARPG compiler to the newest
level of RPGIV before the end of this year. I know that doesn't help you
with your
problem, but just to let everybody know who is wondering about this,  our
plan is to upgrade the VARPG compiler soon.
I can earmark you for PreGA (BETA) participation but that is still a couple
of month out.
The other suggestion is, to try to write very thin CLIENT programs that
just do user interface stuff and call your iSeries RPGIV programs from
VARPG with the CALL op and pass data via parameters.  This would allow you
to leave most of your current RPGIV on the iSeries in free form.
Actually writing very thin Client programs with VARPG  is the IBM suggested
way, this will make you more flexible to adopt to different user interface
technologies over time.
