RE: Beginner needs help w/ decim

We made it policy here that IF you touch a program, Convert it to RPGIV.
This is for both RPGII & RPGIII.  We just don't want to deal with mixed
formats any more.  If you stay in the Default Activation Group, you do not
have to deal with ILE.  Very easy to learn the new layout.  A couple of OP
codes were renamed.  F4 & F1 can walk anyone through the differences.  GO
FOR IT!

Sheesh... judging from the reaction from the list members I should really be
 using RPG IV ;)

I don't know how.


I'm just teaching myself right now by reading other programs... the bulk of
 our programming (past and current development) is RPG/400 so that's what
I'm
 learning.  I'm told that I'm free to use RPG IV... but in addition to
 learning everything I still have to get stuff done, and I've been able to
do
 everything I need so far with what I'm using.  The real kicker is that
 everytime I need to look something up, all I have is an ILE reference
manual,
 so I keep finding things that do exactly what I want - and I can't use them
 but know exactly what I'm missing  ;)


I think I'll make my next project my first RPG IV project....


Thanks a bunch for everybody's help... a few different solutions there (each
 of which taught me a lot - CPYTOIMPF, RPG IV, and APIs are all both new and
 useful to me)



(BTW... I've got a solution from another developer here which is similar to
 the one given by Joel Fritz that seems to work quite well)


Thanks,
