Re: free opcode

[boothm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Mark, FREE was an opcode added to allow a CALLed program to be ended from 
the calling program in the event the CALLed program had RETRNed without LR 
seton during execution.   It was at a time when CALLed was a new idea and 
the hardware was still limited in ability.  It no longer serves a purpose.

Can anyone tell me what to use instead of the FREE opcode.  We are
converting to RPGIV from III and are getting conversion errors stating
FREE is no longer a good opcode.  Any assistance would be GREATLY
appreciated.

TIA
