Re: front end RPG MI program

Hi Emil,

The problem is in the MI Source program. Should be easy to locate. You compiled Leif's RPG program that has the MI source "embedded" in an array, then ran the compiled RPG program, and that's when you got the error, right? Probably a /* out of place or something like that. I suspect we need to add the /* to the first line of the RPG program (you have to have the /* in place so the MI compiler thinks the entire RPG source program is one big comment block, which is the nifty trick that makes it work.).

If you could send me your RPG source program, I will try to spot the error. I no longer have my own iSeries to play with at home.

thanks

Rich

By the way, IBM: Why can't we use the /**/ combination in RPG /Free format source to denote comment blocks? Why not? C and Java allow it. And isn't the intention to transform RPG into C++ or Java eventually? I still tend to think the // glyph is for JCL statements!

Damn. When he said it was off list I though he was going to say something
interesting...like Jill Hennesey's home phone # or perhaps how the new v6r1
stuff works under the covers...

Yes boys and girls, when you goto v6r1 the conversions going to be kinda
like going from CISC to RISK - on a conceptual basis...they've redone a
lot...but the conversion instructions are a lot smaller than the NY city
phone book...:)

OH! And, then there's blade....finally...just when the product is about to
die... :)

Nite...

Hi Emil,

This is a private reply to you, "off list" for now.

As you might have noticed, the MI list is about dead. Everybody wants to
master Java and C# now, including myself.

Since I am unemployed right now (due to a choice to move away from my dream
job back to my family), I can help you with the errors if you like. Sounds
like RPG errors; I have *lots* of experience in that. On the MI side, I am
not an expert, but have at least mananged to compile and run every MI
program that I have tackled. Nothing too fancy. And of course, getting the

MI precompiler part to work should be no problem.

MI is a useful exercise in understanding a bit better how the iSeries works
"under the covers", but it's probably not a practical business skill
anymore! Fun though.

Let me know if you want my help. A text file of your Error log would be a
good start.

thanks

Rich Hart

Hi folks,
I copy and past the RPG front-end MI compiler of Leif Svalgaard.
When I run it on an V5R3 Os I have 5 errors without logs.
Have u an idea ?
Thanks.
