RE: Using RPG /Free how do I get an ISO variable into a non-date 8,0 variable in *USA format

Unless of course they take about 15 minutes to soak in what's going on with the 
free form code.  I've run into too many situation of programmers throwing their 
hands in the air and not touching a program because:

if  a = b

didn't look like

a  ifeq  b


I know free form is a bit of a leap from rpgiii, but is it all that tough if 
you're already coding in rpgiv?
