API documentation--RE: RPG400-L Digest V3 #74

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One thing that would be very helpful in the manuals would be an appendix
that contains a conversion chart showing the data types in each of the
languages availble on the 400 that correspond to the data types mentioned in
the specific description of the api parms. It would be two pages long at
most.  I'd even be satisfied if it only was in the intro to apis manual.
I've saved the chart Barbara posted a while back, and it's saved me more
time than I care to admit.
