Re: PTF enhancements for RPG

Agreed - particularly when wanting to do away with I-specs and you still have to dal with S/36 type multi-record format data.

Pity that the main new feature (dynamically sized arrays) is not going to be available for 7.3 - it is 7.4 only which means I have to upgrade before I can use it.

Very nice. SAMEPOS will address a couple of use cases I've run into over the years.

There are two enhancements for RPG available today.

See the following pages in the RPG Cafe wiki for details.

- One enhancement is for the RPG compiler, for 7.3 only: The new SAMEPOS keyword for data structure subfields: http://ibm.biz/rpg_samepos_keyword

- One enhancement is for the RPG runtime, for 7.2 and 7.3: Two new subfields for the PSDS: http://ibm.biz/rpg_psds_int_job_sys_name
