Any thoughts, opinions? Anybody seen ChatGPT convert RPGLE to VB?
As I write this, I have not yet seen ChatGPT routinely emit RPG code
that will compile.
I just this minute asked it about halt indicators and got a very
authoritative-sounding description of 'High-use halt indicators'
including H1-H9, LR, and RT. For, I must add 'RPG (Role-Playing Game)
programming on IBM i...) Off to a great start. This
authoritative-sounding description included this: 'These indicators are
typically used to signify an immediate halt in the program execution.'
No, that is not a correct statement.
This was followed by several lovely 1990s-style examples of fixed form
RPG that SETON LR, SETON RT, did CHAIN ... 90 IF %ERROR(90) [wat?], did
C // Handle error, in fact everything except show an example of a halt
indicator.
The final example was to wrap the CHAIN in a MONITOR block - in free
form, no less. That would have compiled, but again, it's not an example
of using a halt indicator (as claimed).
One might say this is obscure, but who among us will be asking ChatGPT
to explain Z-ADD?
