Re: Why keep "old" code (Was RPG III)

I totally agree with you for in-house created source, but would you really
want to do that for modified source from a vendor's package?  Especially
since that member could have up to 4 updates in a year.  In this case, it is
easier to not convert this to RPG IV and pull in the appropriate changes
when there is an update.  Now, if we would happen to go off maintenance with
this particular vendor (a remote possibility), then I'd agree that each time
we touch the code it should be converted.

Yes, I understand, but I still agree with the argument of - every time you
touch a new source member - just convert it to RPG IV.  I mean that takes
- no time at all.  Do that at-least.  Then maybe also convert to /Free -
but that's not as  important as converting at lease to RPG IV.
