RE: Tool to convert s/36 RPG I-specs to DDS???

Yes, of course.  Fortunately, we don't have to change the existing apps, and
I should find out quick enough in any new app development if the data
doesn't "fit" the field definition.

>From what I understand, my company was the only entity to modify their apps,
and knowing the good people we have here, I have high confidence that they
kept the F&I specs members in sync.
