RE: Using a display file in a batch environment

["Erickson, Jon" <JonErickson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've encountered another small conversion problem.  In the open feedback
information for a print file, fields with the internal data type of Binary
do not get converted to Integer.

                Bill,
                  Don't hesitate to convert programs to RPG IV to overcome
limits like 
                this.  Create a new source file QRPGLESRC RCDLEN(112) and
CVTRPGSRC. You'll 
                quickly come to appreciate the relaxed constraints that
RPG400 imposes, 
                even if you never use a single RPG IV feature.

                  The *only* gotcha that I've run across is when your old
RPG400 program is 
                compiled IGNDECERR(*YES) and you really have invalid decimal
data.  RPG IV 
                has a FIXDECERR(*YES) parameter, but it logs each occurrence
of fixed data 
                to the job log, and slows performance hideously.
