Re: Help us migrate to ILE RPG

 >> 1) To get things to behave like they do now you need to compile with
DftActGrp(*no) ActGrp(*caller).

Not so.  In order to have it behave the "old" way you need DftActGrp(*YES)
which is the default value for CRTBNDRPG.  The whole point of the *YES
option here is to create a compatible program.

 >> Numeric overflow and underflow.  RPG3 does not care, RPGIV does a hard
halt.
You need to find every calc where overflow or underflow are possible .....

Sorry but this is not true either.  On RPG3 type op-code (ADD, SUB, DIV
....) RPG IV will produce identical behavior by default.  It will however
always signal overflow on EVAL and on conventional math ops _if_ you
request this via compiler option (can't recall the name of it offhand).
