Probably the most important step to modernization.

Externalize your data definitions and you can add on to your S/36 apps using any language you want to use.

Yeah - it looks like S/36.

But along time ago in a galaxy far far away, I also had "externally described" /36 files - you simply drop that DDS file into the QS36F lib and do a CPYF of the old data into it.

So - from RPG36 they're flat files - but from the OS side, they have a description.
