Re: Fooling around with VRPG

Booth;

Yes, it compiled
I was only trying to experience a sample program provided by the vrpg 
reference manual. 
It appeared to be simple enough to get my feet wet, I guess not.
I didn't expect to get a message I don't understand, (iSeries Messages are 
usually understandable) and I still don't understand why I got it.
I'll take your advice and add a componen for the parm, I was just trying 
to keep it simple.

Thanks for looking.

Re: [WDSCI-L] Fooling around with VRPG






This compiled ok? 

But aside from that, it isn't clear to me what you are trying to do with 
VRPG here?  There are no visual parts defined, no way to start this 
project, no way to end it.  Parms as we know them don't really work 
here.  What I would envision for this project is a canvas with a Windows 
part on it, perhaps an Edit part. You could add a Exit pushbutton to the 
canvas, too.  Then, in the Edit part you would type/paste in the data 
you wanted to edit(xlate) and write the converted data back out, or 
write it to to a System i file.

Some of the free & included demos give a better feel for what to look 
for and expect?
