Re: free format replace I-specs and plist

You don’t and can’t. No such thing as free-form I-specs. You would have to have those definitions in a /COPY file and keep it fixed-format. Nasty.

But I _think_ it might work if instead you changed the program to use a DS result field on the write/read. Define Record as a DS and add it as the result field on I/O operations.

Hi all,

Maybe a dumb question, but here it goes...

We're using Scott's great UNIXCMD tool in our programs, and we want convert
our program to "fully free".
Replacement of the file declaration is no problem:

dcl-f UNIX special(1000) pgmname('UNIXCMD') plist(unixparm) usropn;
dcl-s cmd char(5000);

But how do I replace these specs?

IUNIX NS
I 1 1000 Record


C UNIXPARM PLIST
C PARM CMD


Many thanks!
Best regards,
