Re: RPGS36 Conversions

Mike,

When you compile the screen S&D specs it automatically creates the DDS, but it's
ugly and I've never found it worth using.

You can change the RPG member type from RPG36 to RPG and run it through the
conversion to RPGLE, compile and start debugging from there.

The times that I have tried this, I have always found it to be less frustrating
to just start from scratch and do it right.

Probably -not- what you want to hear, just my personal experience.
