RE: QRPGSRC vs. QRPGLESRC

Ray,
I'm with you. I've been programming in RPG 4 for a little over 4 years and if 
it were up to me, I'd convert ever piece of RPG 3 code we have to RPG 4. Then I 
wouldn't mind sticking it into once source file.

Because RPG 4 is very much different than RPG 3 (or RPG400 if you prefer), and 
for that reason alone, it should have it's own file ( as does COBOL). It's the 
reason the standard exists.

Of course, this answer is coming from a newbie...  :-)
