Re: Error in WDSC conversion to /FREE?

Based on the comments from another thread, it appears the conversion
tool is not working properly.

Barbara Morris indicated the fixed-format result indicators are set to
'0' and then set to '1' when appropriate; WDSC generates two simple
and possibly conflicting conditions instead of one compound condition.

I believe the conversion tool is broken and should be fixed: it's
modifying, not converting, RPG source code and not providing any
notification.
