Re: Reset pointer PF file

If the work is being done then why not make the changes to prepare the applications for web browsing, too? Make the commitment to create version 2 for each application, one application at a time. Start with the smallest/easiest/least significant so that your learning curve is not quite so visible to everyone. Include the design phase. If they insist on spending the money, energy, and time then give them some bang for heir buck!

Would you really advocate taking all existing RPG III source and converting it to IV? If you have hundreds or thousands of them? Just to do it?

Get Linoma's tools and convert them as you touch them - then make your changes. Or run CVTRPGSRC if you can't spend the money - although it is well-spent for Linoma's stuff, IMO.

People have to justify the ROI on this kind of thing - there is no ROI to just doing things that work just fine, for the sake of a theory.

Testing required is minimal.

If a programmer preferred to code in RPG/400 instead of RPGLE he'd be the first on the chopping block when it came time for layoffs.

Trying to remember how to do something in RPG/400 instead of RPGLE slows me down so long that I wouldn't reply to a post that asked an RPG400 solution. It's worse than trying to remember how to do accounting using nothing but paper worksheets versus an automated accounting system.

My muzzleloader isn't broke. In fact it works fine. I enjoy it. However, it won't be what I grab when I hear breaking glass in the middle of the night.
