RE: [WDSCI-L] RE: Error in WDSC conversion to /FREE?

["Wilt, Charles" <CWilt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just ran a test.

Linoma's RPG Wizard is smart.

Here's the original:
C           WKEY      CHAINTPDOCU               9090    

Here's the converted:
CHAIN(E) WKEY TPDOCU;         
*IN90 = %ERROR OR NOT %FOUND;
