RE: convert RPG IV code to RPG III code

Thanks Scott. 
I wasn't saying I, or anyone, would want to convert RPG IV to RPG III; I was
just wondering if it was possible.  I didn't think it would be given all the
wonderfully outstanding features that RPG IV offers.
Thanks again for your help.

I believe this will work:

      E                    CPTARR     10  9
      ICPTDS       DS                               
      I                                        1  90 CPTFLD
      I                                        1  90 CPTARR
      I                                        1   9 CPT01
      I                                       10  18 CPT02
      I                                       19  27 CPT03
      I                                       28  36 CPT04
      I                                       37  45 CPT05
      I                                       46  54 CPT06
      I                                       55  63 CPT07
      I                                       64  72 CPT08
      I                                       73  81 CPT09
      I                                       82  90 CPT10

Not that I know of.  There are features in RPG IV that can't be translated
to RPG III.   RPG IV is a superset of RPG III.

I'm also not sure why anyone would EVER want to convert RPG IV code to
RPG III.
