RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: infds in free form

Hi Mark
In our case – we don’t have ANY copy books for this (I know, I know)
They were always hard coded into the individual programs

But, why waste time and effort transforming old copy book members into /free format when it is not needed? The RPG IV compiler understands the older fixed format, and at each /copy or /include file member boundary, you can switch between /free format and fixed format.
So, the existing copy book members are perfectly fine ...
Just saying ...?
