I learned RPG 27 years ago, the hard way. I moved to free format...

well,

I can't remember! A long time ago.

I can hardly stand reading or deciphering the old fixed format "stuff" we
had to deal with.
If I have to redo or rewrite something, it gets converted first. Even if
I go into a huge program to make a small change, my change is in free
format.

Now, as for the Visual Studio.... I downloaded that a while back and used
it. I'm partial to RDi, but was willing to give it a try. The biggest
drawback was a lack of debugger. Has that been resolved with the "IBM I
Development Pack"? Specifically, the Service Entry Points?

Instead of just the "Code for IBM i" extension, download the "IBM i
Development Pack".

Not everything is in "Code for IBM i" so the pack was created to include
the other extensions you need for IBM i development.
