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

LMAO...

I still remember all the (expletive deleted) we had to go through from
COMMON just to HAVE Leif doing his MI class ... at Baltimore as I recall ...
Had a packed room and a great presentation....Blair sat in on it as an IBM
monitor...I think that the IBM "brick pile" was growing exponentially about
that time regarding MI and security... :)

He figured out how to turn a Palm Pilot into a two-way data entry device for
us, using a cell phone as a modem.

+1

Agreed. I took one of his MI classes at a Common Conference many years ago.
It cost $90.00 and even though I don't play with MI, it was worth every
penny :) I learned a lot about
OS/400 from his course...

encountered.

Just realized for anyone that tried to follow it - the link in my
article to Leif's MI information no longer works - but you can find
much of his information on MI here:

GENOPT(*LIST) is kinda fun - I learnt about it when I was
first introduced
to System/38 back in CPF v5 timeframe. I was doing COBOL at the time -
and if anything the commenting in the generated COBOL code is even
better than for RPG.

We used to use the MI listing to help us work around the
bugs in the COBOL
compiler that we encountered while doing an NCR -> S/38 conversion.
Later when I joined IBM in 1986 the compiler team were amazed at the
number of bugs I reported within the first few months I worked there.
We'd been working round them for years but we never had the time to go
through the reporting process!

Pity something similar wasn't doable with the ILE compilers
- but that's
another story.

First of all, thanks to everyone who responded.

Jon, I had never thought to explore GENOPT(*LIST), and now that I
have, I must say I'm pretty impressed. The generated MI
code even has
comments! As for the C-wrapper approach, once you mentioned it, I
started doing some more Googling and found this, which you may find
familiar:

Yeah, it's 10 years old, but that still makes it several
years newer
than the program I'm dealing with.

I have follow-up comments for some of the other
respondents as well,
but right now I've got to run.
