RE: RPG III and DS

If it helps any, I've never had any problems with JDE copy books after
running CVTRGPSRC on them. Sure, the codes all ugly but they do work.

It based on a JD Edwards program, so we have a lot of /COPY for common
subrotines and I specs. It would take me weeks to convert all of them to
ILE.

Interesting.
What type of problems do you get in attempting to convert to RPGILE?

Hi List,

I'm converting a RPG program to SQLRPG due to OPNQRY file

performance.
In

the program the same file is opened three times. The first two file

are

logical and the third is a join file. Based on the PF, there is a DS

(DS1).

I tried to create an extrenally defined DS(DS2) based on the logical

file

but kept getting an error:

 * QRG4072 Severity:  30   Number:  140
           Message . . . . :   Subfield-Name specified already

defined
as

             Subfield-Name. Specification line ignored.


then I tried to create the second DS based on the first, but I'm

still

getting the same error. My question is: is it possible to have a one

DS

as a

subset of another DS?


Thanks,
Wes
PS: Can't convert to RPGLE as the program is over 9K lines...
