Re: Full Free RPG and modification marks

Booth

You cannot go to full-free in a piecemeal fashion - that code in line 1 position 1 means the entire source starts in position 1 and is free-form from 1 to whatever the record length is.

Without the str-start-free at the start, your code is limited to position 8-80 or so.

You will not be able to start calculations in position 1 unless you use the star-star-free marker.

Vern

My first reaction is: Why jump off the end of the pier; no need to go to full-free cold turkey?  Take your time, just do the C-spec free to start with?  Maybe convert an existing program with RDi's conversion tool and see how it treats your current documentation process?  I suspect you will be pleasantly surprised.
