Subject: Blast from the past
I just suffered a brain warp. I browsed a production source member
for a program that is called by the program I am currently working on.
All files program-described, including the workstn file. COMP op
codes. Left side indicators.
The maintenance log implies that it was originally written on a S/36.
What's funny/sad is that, for some reason, when they migrated to the
AS/400, they "enhanced" the program by creating an *ENTRY PLIST for
all of the LDA values that were previously passed into the program via
LDA.
RPG400-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:
The calling CL passed the LDA values into variables that were then
used as parameters to call this program.
To be fair, this 200-line program (including I/O specs) has been
modified
5 times since its creation in 1986, the last of which was in 2001.
I'm not sure why I was compelled to share this here. Empathy? Sympathy?
Laughs?
- Dan
