Could be worse, at least it's POWER!
Why not just move the source into the IFS. Then move the IFS directory onto
your new system?
Since RDi can deal with reading it just use RDi for your access from now on.
If RDi won't be in the future, before going with Notepad ++ ( a reasonable
choice ) you might take a look at the archives and find a free or cheap
replacement.

Subject: archive source code from Power i to pc environment
We have replaced an i system (sorry) with a Power unix system (java). I need
to archive many thousands of source members in a way that is searchable and
easy to view.
We expect occasional verification of logic for years to come.
No $$ for a real product - but so far Notepad ++ seems best option, with
text file names like Library_SourceType_TextDescription.txt
ABCLIB_RPGLE_Process_Provider_IRS_Matching_file.txt
This is mostly RPG400, CLP, DDS, CMD, Menus, etc, Some free ILE..
Exporting to text files is simple enough.
I would imagine others have been through this - any better options?
Need a "supported" tool, so some older open source are not being looked at.
This shop moving off Microsoft development suites.
Offline comments may be better.
