Hello to all. I have a 'unique' opportunity. I have a prospective client that wants me to rewrite WSU MACPAC programs into RPGII/III - then they want to use the Accelerator conversion programs to convert these programs from that into 400 code. They have an 'Advanced System 400' as they put it, where it is One AS/400, with Two boxes inside where they must DDM files between them. I am still unclear about the whole story, but they do not want me to just write AS/400 native code, they say it must go through this conversion process or it won't work (I am still foggy on it).... I was wondering if anyone could explain to me the part that I must be missing as to why I can't just write in current code? Why they say I must rewrite the MACPAC WSU stuff first into RPGII..... they said the files that are internally defined must stay that way, and the files that are external must stay that way. I want to take the project, I think, and they gave me 3 of the WSU program listings to look at, and explained some of the 'J' specs... but I am not getting the whole picture. If anyone can find an intelligent question in here to answer, please help. They said to give them two quotes, one keeping the record 'rollback' function, and one without it. I tried explaining about subfiles, and prompt screens, and Options like '2' change detail, '4' delete, F6=Add, etc., but they have not seen a subfile before. I met them offsite, so did not see their system. I am confused. Well, thanks for reading this far, if you can shed any light on any of this, I would appreciate it. First, I guess I have to find a 'WSU' book.... then............?ouch....
