Thanks for the reply Barbara,

I just click on the link and then clicked on the link that said :

that you have IBM i 7.1 or later, so
that you can use the free-form version of most RPG IV statement types.
If you are on an earlier version, use the older form of this tutorial: Coding in RPG IV - a beginner's tutorial

It seems like it is free form in that tutorial too.


Hi Marc, the _calculations_ in the older tutorial are in free-form, but the variable and file definitions are in fixed form. The older tutorial also uses the old /FREE and /END-FREE directives to mark off the free-form code.

Free-form for calculations has been available since around the year 2000, so it's unlikely anyone is on a release that doesn't support free-form calculations. But some of the code you're working on might still have fixed-form calculations; this tutorial won't help you with that.
