Re: Beginner needs help w/ decimal field to text field

Hi Jason,

Write most of the code in RPG III, then use the CVTRPGSRC command to convert
it to RPGLE. Then look at what it did, and insert the RPGLE-only code where
appropriate.

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  ;)
