Re: Can I make FTP embed EOLs in source members transfered as EBCIDIC?

Glad it might help you - I haven't used it in a long time, so I don't know details. Someone else can maybe help.

If by displaying a library, you mean seeing all the objects, it might not be possible, as these things probably show only database objects. Or at least source files.

Good luck!

Vern,

Thanks a lot. If we ever meet in real life I'll buy you a drink as a
finders fee, if you can tell me this one thing. How do I display a library
in that program. It has the same problem as miworkplace. I can't seem to
add libraries to it.

I hear you on getting RDi as a vendor - so I have a free alternative.
RPG Next Gen is a free RPG editor - look for it at
http://rpgnextgen.sourceforge.net/

And you can send me a finder's fee - only $500!!

Ducking and running!

Is there some reason that you can't use RDi, the editor that suits the
kind of source better than anything else?

RDi is $800 and too much editor for my needs and I'm an independent
consultant so no ones gonna buy it for me. Full stop. I'll spend a grand

on

Visual Studio, because I'll get a grand of value out of it even doing

hobby

projects.I bought Zend Studio. I've given lots of money to jetbrains, and
will probably subscribe to their new whole hog package soon. RDi is worth
$800, but I'm not going to get $800 out of it.

And if someone want to chime in that resellers can give discounts, $200

is

the "I'll shut my mouth and give you my credit card number" number.

I'm learning RPG to be conversant in it, and to perform proof of concepts
experiments in it, not to write RPG. Clients call PHP I write in SQL. I
have to tell clients to embed SQL in their RPG, and at some point that
might scare a less than modern RPG programmer. It will be easier to be

able

to say "past this on line X" or "I think the problem is on line Y" when

me

and an RG programmer have an argument.

But if you have to go this route, seems to me your editor has a basic
flaw - why in the world would it only be able to save things using
binary transfer? That is severely broken, IMNSHO.

I agree 100%, but it seems the respondent to that issue I linked to
doesn't. However, he proposed a workaround with some plugins. I think I'm
going to solve it on the client side at this point. The editor is open
source, and I like to pretend I know how to write in C.

To confuse the matter, source CAN be stored in the IFS as stream files -
EBCDIC, of course.

This is something I did discover. However, since my purpose is mainly to
play nice with my clients staff programmers and operators, I'm going to

use

source members because that is what they are using.

Regards and still confused!
Vern

Sorry for puzzling you. I like a challenge.
