Re: OPEN in RPGIII

I had mentioned the JCR4MAX command by Craig Rutledge in this thread - it is one of several free utilities from Craig. It does not have the controls that Linoma has, but it does do a number of things that CVTRPGSRC leaves alone. Here is a description from the command's help text -

Conversions: o All MOVE, Z-ADD, Z-SUB, SUBST, CAT, ADD, and MULTs are converted
to EVAL opcode. o All IF, WHEN, DO, AND, & OR logic structures are converted to Extended Factor2 definitions. o All program defined fields generate Definition specs. o Allows case (Upper/Lower) selection of source code (STYLE).
Again, the source is included, so a person can tailor it to your needs.

And it is FREE!!

I haven't used this command but have used the JCR4PROTO that makes nice prototypes from *ENTRY PLISTs and CALLs and CALLBs. Very helpful!

To get more control than JCR4MAX provides, definitely go with Linoma. Great stuff!

User configurable in a broad sense would mean to me that the user
can pick a preference going into the conversion. In a more granular
sense, the user would be prompted to make a decision on any other
area where there can be a doubt, from the tool's perspective, that it
might fail during runtime.

For the most part isn't this what the Linoma tool does?

I don't know if it offers an option to not convert any eval that could cause overflow but you can certainly control the level of the conversion.

Perhaps someone from Linoma would care to comment on the degree of granularity available.
