RE: Line count? -- RPG400-L

It won't, but it's still a good idea.  He already got answers to the logic.
It would also be good practice to use external output specs instead of
internal.  Of course, this may just be personal preference.  I'm just
throwing out suggestions.  :)

I don't see how converting to ILE RPG is going to solve the problem of the
logic changes required though, even if conversion is a good idea!

Another suggestion would be to convert your program from RPG III to RPG IV.
You can do so much more with it and it is the way you should go with new
development.
