rpg free

 >>  So that is why I was curious as to if I should learn the /free or have
her stay with the RPG400 since that is what all our programming is in.

As I said before - just remember that the sequence is Op-code factor1
factor2 result ; (don't forget the semi-colon!)

Why stay with RPG400 other than if you are using a package from a
lazy/greedy software vendor who would rather keep you in the dark ages!

If you are using RPG IV (you said RPG400 but your earlier post suggested RPG
IV I thought) and using EVAL etc. there is not that huge a difference.  In
fact with the exception of some new I/O operations added in V5R2, all of the
new stuff in /free (like %LOOKUP for example) can be used in EVAL - so there
really is very little difference.
