>> I have used the Free-Format converter in WDSC 5.1.2 a couple of times now and am surprised at some of the statements that are not converted: This is really a topic for the RPG400 list but .... You cannot simply convert ADD, SUB, etc. because the behavior is different to the EVAL type operations. Major difference in ADD is that overflow will be ignored by ADD and blow-up on EVAL. If you look at the commercial conversion tools like Linoma's they offer the option to convert this type of operation, but it is option because of the behavioral differences it can cause. IBM are offering a simple tool that is really intended to convert small pieces of code rather than a full program and they want to keep it at the lowest level. The only reengineering it does it with indicators used on I/O operations. Even then it still uses the original *IN indicator. Jon Paris Partner400 www.Partner400.com
