Re: MI embedded in RPG (ZMILIB/CRTRPGMI?)

[Jon Paris <jon.paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Two options I can think of.

1) Convert the code to RPG IV and where needed call the C library MI functions.

2) Compile the base RPG with the option GENOPT(*LIST) and copy the relevant portions of the generated RPG into a source member and then insert the required MI instructions.

Option 1 is a better choice for the future - option 2 would be a pain to do manually but you could write code to do it for you - but if you have to write code why not go for option 1!
