RE: Fortran question

Trevor - conversion is the only option.

COBOL may be a better candidate than RPG in this case since Fortran programs
often make use of multi-dimensional arrays.

COBOL COMPUTE and RPG EVAL are equally efficient so that is not an issue.

COBOL data structures will have a more obvious one-to-one mapping than RPG
but these days there's not a lot of difference, and the customer will have
both compilers anyway.

As worrying perhaps be what to do about the S/36 code that will require a
PRPQ and get no support after V5R4.
