RE: BSCA problem

[Chris Bipes <rpg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A T in column 6 is a telecommunications record format that is not supported
in RPG III.  According to the S36 Migration Assistant book, communication
definitions are not transferred directly to RPGIII.  You must re-write the
application.  I suggest you look into the communications and see how you can
convert to ICF and write a whole new program.  I hope you don't need this
any time soon.  You might look into the finance programming books in the
softcopy library.

Good Luck,

Subject: BSCA problem


I have an RPG36 program for bank direct deposit whose 'F' specs look like
the following and also contains a 'T' spec.   
        
     FDIRTAPE IPE F 940  94            DISK                  
  FDIRLINE O   F  94  94            BSCA                  
  FPRINTER O     132 132            PRINTER               
  TDIRLINE ST ENA                                10       
  IDIRTAPE NS  01                                         

How do I "convert" this to RPG/400? If I change the source type to RPG and
compile, I get the following fatal errors.

                        M e s s a g e   S u m m a r y

 QRG2001 Severity:  30   Number:    1

         Message . . . . :   The File-Format entry is not F or E. Defaults

           of an F specification are not blank. Default to blank.



Any help would be greatly appreciated.
