Re: RPGLE *FREE --> convert change tags to right hand comments...

With a change management system, or at the very least a source control
system, there's little use for the change flags on the left.

It's a lot cleaner and useful to compare source version than to search for
a change flag.

I don't see IBM providing such a tool, it would go against their
philosophies.

Hi,

Does IBM have a conversion tool to convert the Sequence-Area, where most
companies store the "Change-Tags" to right-Hand comments....

--- 0---|--- 10---|--- 20---|--- 30---|--- 40---|--- 50---|--- 60---|---
70---|--- 80---|--- 90---|

C001 X = 1; // Code starting in punch-card column-8

X = 1; // C001 Old Punch-card columns 1-5

Or do we have to write our own program to do that. Not that it is hard,
but a built in tool is better.

Just would be great to have a tool to perform that. Unfortunately, I
cannot see if RDI 9.5.0.2 can handle it yet, because we won't get our TR
updates until later in April...
