Re: MI embedded in RPG (ZMILIB/CRTRPGMI?)

Two options I can think of.

1) Convert the code to RPG IV and where needed call the C library MI functions.

2) Compile the base RPG with the option GENOPT(*LIST) and copy the relevant portions of the generated RPG into a source member and then insert the required MI instructions.

Option 1 is a better choice for the future - option 2 would be a pain to do manually but you could write code to do it for you - but if you have to write code why not go for option 1!

Hey folks, here's one you probably don't hear every day:

What are my options for compiling an RPG program that contains embedded MI code?

In my particular case, the RPG is RPG III or RPG/400, and it contains
what appear to be preprocessor directives #BEGIN and #END (the '#' is
in column 1), which delimit the MI code.

The comments at the top of the source indicate that ZMILIB must be in
the library list, and the program object created by the CRTRPGMI
command. As you may guess from the fact that I'm asking, these don't
exist anywhere on our current system, and I'm not having any luck
Googling these things.
