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).

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!
