I was recently at a very informative Partner400 conference, however I am only starting to learn RPG. Thus the following information may suffer from a "broken telephone" effect. As I understand, %KDS Key Data Structure will only be supported in /Free. The same is true for SetLL if you are supplying it with a list of fields as opposed to a single one. Also %Fields allows the ability to specifiy which fields are affected by Update. Only in /Free. -mark "Joe Pluta" <joepluta@xxxxxxxx To: "RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries" <rpg400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx> thers.com> cc: Sent by: Subject: RE: Free Form RPG Opinions Wanted rpg400-l-bounces@x idrange.com 25/04/2003 10:45 AM Please respond to RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries > From: rob@xxxxxxxxx > > But honestly Jerry, there are several new operation codes and > BIF's coming > out that will either only work in free format, or are really enhanced in > free format. Uh oh. Where is this documented, Rob? There is absolutely no good reason, and no defensible rationale, for a BIF put into free-form to not be included in RPG IV. The parser already exists, and the code generator already exists. It's not like a BIF in free-form is somehow different than the same BIF in RPG IV. As to new opcodes, I'd have to see them, but I'm again of the mind that anything that can fit into free-form can fit into an RPG IV expression. The difference between the two should only be form, not function. Otherwise, you're killing off the RPG IV base.
