The problem with display formats is that they use a number of external
indicators and the display files themselves are usually combined primary.
They will work just fine with RPG IV code, but aren't nearly as easy to
use as DDS defined screens using the EXFMT opcode.  We have several
programs that we've updated to RPG IV and left the display files as they
were originally written.  But if we have to make many changes to the
screen files we dump them and redo from scratch, simply for the ease of
screen handling it gives us.
