Re: Calling s/36 programs from RPG IV

["James W. Kilgore" <qappdsn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim,

I stand corrected.  During our transition phase we were calling RPG400
and CLP programs from RPGII without problems.

I've always heard the "a program is a program" mantra for years, but
never tried going the other way.

But I have another solution that may or may not fit this situation.
AKAIK (and you know how far that got me last time <g>)  The difference
between an RPGII program and a RPG400 program with program described
files is minimal unless it's an interactive program, but even then it's
not insurmountable.

In most cases you remove the core size to execute and the program name.
If you use /COPY members, like we do, they will be in source PF QS36SRC
in whatever library name you specified in the /COPY entry.  Just copy
them to a source PF that is the same name as the old library name.
