Re: Free-ify fixed format prototype

Jon,

I have three commands set up in RDI which call the JCR4MAX to convert to RPGIV, JCR4PROTO and JCR5FREE - all called from within RDi..I just right click on the source member user defined options and away it goes.

Once you get used to what it won't do - ;) you can highlight a section of code and get RDi to convert it to free - putting the /Free - /end-free around it...I've enhanced the actual tools to ignore any code starting/ending in /Free /end-free....then when the free format conversion happens it ignores these and just wraps one /Free /end-free around the whole program..

Because it is RPGIII I've kept the D specs etc intact...but now Craig as a separate command to do these as well.

I managed to rattle thru some of my AS/SET generated code - because as it is machine generated the code is mostly the same.

I've managed to to get it to use BIF's on most of the file I/O now.....given it's not great code to start with - it still works and AS/SET code looks a lot like free format RPG anyway - strangely enough..

I can share some screen shots if you like...when I've sorted what my WIN10 upgrade has done to my copy of RDi...grrrrr.

All the best

Kevin

Familiar with Craig’s stuff Kevin - but good that others will now know about it.

I’ve included his stuff in my presentations for some time now but for me it lacks one capability that I use frequently with Linoma - it doesn’t integrate with RDi so I can’t easily convert a small piece of code.

Maybe the iSphere team could make that happen.

You might also want to check out Craig Rutledge's pages - he's done quite a bit and it's free open source..

I've converted quite a lot of AS/SET (RPGII) code by tweaking this..http://www.jcrcmds.com/

I will admit I've made substantial changes to it.

You could save yourself a whole bunch of time by getting the Linoma
toolkit … just sayin.

Thanks Jon! I might get a whole program freed today!

Dcl-Pr renamed Varchar(256) extproc(ptr);
parm1 Varchar(256) value;
End-Pr;

What were you having problems with?
