RE: Cvt RPG III to RPG IV (strange problems )

[Buck Calabro <Buck.Calabro@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Frank,
Thanks for the list - it helps to see what problems and misunderstandings
you (as an ILE beginner) encounter.  Rather than address your list item by
item, I'll ask at what point you read the ILE Concepts manual... before
starting, sometime during the initial conversion to RPG IV, before compiling
DFTACTGRP(*NO), sometime after encountering problems with ILE (that is,
DFTACTGRP(*NO)) or not at all.

I know it sounds sarcastic, but it isn't.  As I looked over the issues you
raised (and you are NOT alone there!) I see that all of them are addressed
in the Concepts manual.  So the question becomes: how can we clean up the
manual?  I'm strongly leaning toward a FAQ entry on the lines of 'ILE for
beginners.'  Knowing when you started reading the manual will help pinpoint
the parts that should be more 'tutorial' oriented and less 'reference'
oriented.
