Re: Display subfile page number

I'm with Bob...

As far as I'm concerned, you can have RPG IV without ILE....that's
kind of the whole point to DFTACTGRP(*YES) isn't it?

I wish IBM had some official names for the styles...but they don't.

However, it seems pretty well accepted what one means by non-ILE RPGIV...

In my mind I break things down like so
RPGIII+ --> RPGIII source run through CVTRPGSRC
RPGIV ---> RPGIV op-codes & bifs, but with DFTACTGRP(*YES)
ILE RPG ---> use of service program and/or multiple modules

In fact, when I interview someone, I provide my definitions and ask
them to rate themselves...it's amazing how many people have "ILE RPG"
on their resumes without any experience with RPGIV specific op-codes
or bifs.

Bob -

I don't care what /you/ call it.

All that I am requesting is for people to use the correct terminology...

Regardless of how ugly the converted code may be (RPGII or whatever), from a
system standpoint if you use the CRTBNDRPG command to compile it, it is now
an RPGIV ILE program, no longer an Original Program Model program, and you
cannot debug it with STRISDB any more - it requires STRDBG now.

And if you're running programs through CVTRPGSRC and converting the OPM code
to fixed-form RPGIV, I would ask why you're not cleaning them up in the
process.  I do.
