RE: RPGII to RPG IV

Bob,

Since you'll name the LF the same as the former PF, it should look the same to the old programs. The only major issue I can think of offhand, is if any programs are using RRN processing.

 You can also look into a "record format selector" program.

Yes, but I suppose my concern is how the other programs (still in RPGII)
will react to those files once they are converted. This program is not an
island and the files are used in other areas and other applications.
Thanks

Bob,

  Multi-format LF's work quite well for this purpose.  For input only, you
can create the fields with SST().  But the beast for the long term is
probably to separate out each format into its own PF and use the MFLF as
the glue to bring them all together.  The MFLF would have the same name as
the original PF.
