VARPG was last shipped with WDSC 7.0. It is no longer supported. The
deprecation statement is here:
Deprecation of VARPG and CODE/400 Classic Tools
http://www-01.ibm.com/software/awdtools/wdt400/news/planning700.html#code
This planning statement is more then 10 years old and even link is no
longer available.
Unfortunately, no official replacement for VARPG was ever created.
Customers have to re-write the application in a different language.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] VisualAge RPG copymember issue
Sent by: "RPG400-L" <rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Hi,
No idea if this question/issue fits in the RPG mailing list but I doubt a
VisualAge RPG one still exists.
The issue is that on a project we still use IBM VisualAge RPG but after we
moved to a new system the compiles fail on missing fields which is caused
by improper importing the copy members. These show up on the compile
listing as follows;
34 D/COPY *REMOTE *LIBL/QVRPGSKCOP,ALPROGDS
000033
*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
* RPG member name . . . . . : ALPROGDS
* 2
* External name . . . . . . : *LIBL/QVRPGSKCOP(ALPROGDS)
* 2
*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
35+ * * Program data-structure * D ProgDs SDS
D PDCompName *P ?
As you notice the compiler can read the remote copy member but has
everything on a single line as it doesn't understand the carriage returns ?
So far I have no clue what is causing this, just hoping someone has
experienced the same issue many years ago :-)
Manually inserting the copy member in the source itself removes the compile
errors which proves that it doesn't import the copy member despite I can
see it.
Any tips are welcome.
Thanks,
Paul
