RE: Adoption of new RPG techniques

["Bartell, Aaron L. (TC)" <ALBartell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here are the links that I am looking at, and I was just commenting on the
fact that there are many(definition up to you) C specifications in the
documents.  If they are truly trying to sway programmers to newer stuff, why
continue to use the old stuff?

ILE RPG Programmers Guide -
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r1/ic2924/books/c0925073.pdf
ILE RPG Reference -
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r1/ic2924/books/c0925083.pdf

Aaron - The V5R1 .pdf that I have has many if not most of it's examples in
/free.  I can send it to you offline if you like.

I am giving a short presentation on /Free format at our next department
meeting and went out to find some good links that the programmers in my shop
could reference.  I thought it was interesting that the ILE RPG Reference
and ILE RPG Programmers Guide has many examples using C specs instead of
/Free.  Why would the documentation be encouraging fixed format when it
introduces /Free in the same exact document.  Could this be one of the
reasons programmers don't jump onto the bandwagon as fast as IBM would like?

Just thought this was interesting,
Aaron Bartell
