Thanks Joe. I knew about that one, but I don't see it as good value for money when most of the RPG-Toolbox functionality is redundant because it is already available in RDP in one form or another. The RPG Wizard in the toolbox goes those extra few steps in converting to /FREE, but at that price I would at least want integration with RDP and maybe some RDP enhancements too (such as like those in the Softlanding plugin and the Midrange.com plugin).

Linoma's tool works very well.

Hi,

I am currently converting a lot of source to the /FREE version of RPG using the RDP (v8031) built-in converter, but I am having to do a lot of easily repeatable find-replaces as well.

The built-in converter doesn't handle MOVE at all, which is sometimes fairly tricky to work out manually as well, but other opcodes like Z-ADD/Z-SUB, XLATE, OCCUR, SUBDT, etc. are all easily convertible to their relevant evals+BIFs with simple regular expressions.

Is there a way of extending the built-in converter to handle these simple regular expression changes? Or is there another converter that I can use within RDP for little-to-no cost that does the job better?


-Paul.


PS. @Edmund Reinhardt: You tease!
