Re: What's new for V7R2 and V7R3?

Lazier certainly..

"easier"? In the moment perhaps but why not run CVTRPGSRC to create the copy? Not exactly a lot more work is it.

Personally, I find zero justification for keeping _any_ code in RPG III unless it is _never_ changed in any way.

Because it is easier to copy someone else’s work, even if it is not all relevant.

There can NEVER be a "compelling reason" for such idiocy Jimmy.


Just sayin'

I know I know... but is there a compelling reason why *new* stuff is
being done in III?

Hi,

After leaving the system i in 2012, then coming back in 2019 to a shop that
writes new programs in RPGIII, I stopped my own knowledge updates. Now it's
just been announced that we are moving to V7R3. I seem to remember it being
easy to find what had changed with a new release but I'm having difficulty
finding a resumé of what's new. Can anyone help?

Thanks
