The worst part of converting some of thes old programs was that you
could use the same positions of the record for differrent data at
different times, so getting a consistant record format can be
problematic at times even with multiformat logical files.  Hopefully you
won't have to deal with this, but there is no clean easy solution when
it does occur only one form of kludge or another.

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?
