RE: RPGII to RPG IV

I agree... and would include these applications in that category.
However, it is for a client and I am not familiar with them so I'd rather
just convert them, get them to compile and run the "new" code. That way,
moving forward, I can maintain them for the client.

Thanks

Personally. I haven't seen many RPGII programs that I'd want to convert.
Unless it's otherwise cost/time prohibitive I consider it a rewrite.
Especially if I have to support it going forward.

But that's just my opinion....

Has anyone moved an old RPGII program to RPGIII and then RPGIV in recent
months?
I'm specifically wondering about approaches to move the program-described
database files to externally describd.
Most of that is obvious, but what about multi-format files? Do people simply
do a rewrite of the app in that situation or is there some simpler method to
handle them?
