Re: Converting RPG to RPG ILE

[Robert Cozzi <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

It is probably good enough "as is".
I've used some conversion tools, such as the ones mentioned already on this
list, and they've worked well to update the code so its less labor intensive
to turn crappy RPGIII style into RPG IV style--but it is not strictly
necessary to make it work like RPGIII--as was your question.

One thing I would do, however, is a scan/replace (manually) an convert the
"B" data-types to "I" data-types.

4B0 -> 5I0
9B0 -> 10I0

The use of "B" data-types in RPG IV should be against the law, and
punishable by forfeiting your 401k in its entirety.
