Re: Free-ify fixed format prototype

Thanks Kevin, I'll try during the weekend.

Main concern is about RDI especially Debug. Actually with W7PRO is stable,
only some glitch on occasion. The symptoms are very clear and the solution
as well (restart...)

Hi Marco,

No apology needed..my observations are.

Firstly I had win7 pro and I downloaded the upgrade to apply later - when
recently it kept asking me if I wanted to apply the upgrade and I kept
replying "no"..

Last week I had turned my back and it just went ahead and applied the
upgrade - not what I wanted...anyway I stuck with it rather than cancel and
seems to be OK.

I had a couple of problems printing but my V6R1 version of Client access
works ok - my Java version of the emulator works ok too.

Be aware if you are using Desktop interaction with RUNRMTCMD then you will
need to re-program around that.

RDi did something strange a couple of days ago so as I said earlier I
removed data studio and that is now working OK.

I had to reinstall AVG and a couple of non-work related apps (Sonos) but
is seems to be OK - and I might add (maybe my wishful thinking) my PC seems
a little quicker.

So try it on one PC and see what you think.

Good luck

Kevin

Hi Marco,

Did you want to see more about what I've done with my RPGIII ASSET code
or
are you having trouble with RDi like me??

Indecently I sorted the RDi issue out by removing some parts that I was
not using just now. Namely Data Studio - I'll re-install it when I'm sure
my WIN10 is stable(almost there).

Regards

Kevin

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.
