A company is upgrading from Advanced/36 to AS/400. They have files with
multiple record types and want to reuse as much code as possible (with
the necessary changes for the AS/400). Right now the plan is to use
external data structures to define the fields (for the new code) and
create logicals to define the fields for use with Query. However, some
of the fields are packed. What have others done in the past to handle a
similar situation? Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
