Same here. Converting to /free left a lot of work (mostly because of MOVE's and Z-ADD's), but even that was cosmetic.

David,

I've never had CVTRPGSRC leave me with hours of work. Honestly, I
can't remember it ever leaving me with _ANY_ work to do.

Guys, guys, lets be reasonable here. Surely we're not the only shop with a load of RPGIII that still need to be maintained. I only ever used CVTRPGSRC once and it left me with hours of work to get the program running correctly.

What noone has replied to is, why can't I just do this?

C                     OPEN MYFILE                 10
C           KEY       CHAINMYFILE               10

Isn't it like
monitor;
open myfile;
on-error;
 // do nothing
endmon;

??

First you take the RPGIII and run CVTRPGSRC on it.  Then you
have your way with it.

Hi all,

How do I write the equivalent of

/FREE

  IF NOT %OPEN(MYFILE);
     %OPEN(MYFILE);

  ENDIF;

/END-FREE

for RPGIII ?


At the moment, I have
C                     OPEN MYFILE                 10
C           KEY       CHAINMYFILE               10 >
Thanks
