Hi Tom, at the moment VARPG is still at the level of RPGIV at V4R5, so no free form support. This is due to resource constrains we have here in Toronto. The good news is that we plan to bring up the VARPG compiler to the newest level of RPGIV before the end of this year. I know that doesn't help you with your problem, but just to let everybody know who is wondering about this, our plan is to upgrade the VARPG compiler soon. I can earmark you for PreGA (BETA) participation but that is still a couple of month out. The other suggestion is, to try to write very thin CLIENT programs that just do user interface stuff and call your iSeries RPGIV programs from VARPG with the CALL op and pass data via parameters. This would allow you to leave most of your current RPGIV on the iSeries in free form. Actually writing very thin Client programs with VARPG is the IBM suggested way, this will make you more flexible to adopt to different user interface technologies over time.
