RE: RPG /free

Ummmmm..........

Actually, /free and /end-free must begin in position 7 (not 6)or you will
receive the following error (in SEU...IknowIknow!) and code can start in
position 8.


 Message ID . . . . . . :   RNF0257       Severity . . . . . . . :   30
 Message type . . . . . :   Diagnostic

 Message . . . . :   Form-Type entry for main procedure not valid or out of
   sequence.
 Cause . . . . . :   The Form-Type entry (position 6) is not valid or the
   sequence of the specifications is not H, F, D, I, C, O. The specification
is
   ignored.
 Recovery  . . . :   Specify H, F, D, I, C, or O for the Form-Type entry
   (position 6) or establish the proper sequence of specifications. Compile
   again.
