WDSC (RDi?) has a good RPG to free converter - simply select a section of code, right-click, and take the option to convert to free-form.

Now Linoma Software probably has a better one!

sure, oh if IBM will include an powerful RPG to modern-rpg-free converter!!
(including embebbed sql, of course). It will be an very good "marketing"
tool too, imagine show your 20 years old invoice inquery in rpg-free to the
boss son!

mmm, Nobody doing this converter? USD119 x 4000 machines and you start being
half millanaire...

I think the as400 (ooops, IBM "i") community doesn't value the importance of
rpg-free.

One of the great things about free-form is the ability to intersperse
SQL and RPG code. I can't get over how elegant it is to write a cursor,
loop through it, execute code, and not have to put a single compiler
directive that starts with a "/".

People who don't use RPG because it's not "cool" are really missing out
on a great language.
