Re: Mass replace exsr with callp ()

Hi,

I use the Linoma RPG Tool box with the RDi Plug-in, and then just high-light code, and select RPGTOOLBOX>Convert to Free Form

It works great! And I have the option to leave the source dates UNCHANGED too!!!

The RPG Tool Box has GREATLY cut down on my learning time on the new Free-Format! Love it!!!

PS. This 3rd party plug-in is not free. But, so happy that my current employer had purchased the RPG Tool Box, *BEFORE* I came on board!!!
Anyway, I highly recommend it!!! <Joy Joy>

Two comments Darren,

First - why even add CallP ? The keyword is optional.

Second - I thought you guys had the Linoma Toolbox - it will do all of this for you.

With the new free form declarations, its become fairly easy to convert
exsr into dcl-proc and endsr into end-proc. Then I do a find/replace
to convert exsr into CALLP, however, is there a good way to put a
open/close paren (); at the end of the call? For example, I want to
convert EXSR $MAIN; into CALLP $MAIN();

I would settle for a way to use the filter to selection screen to
change everything shown from ; to (); but I can't find a way to make
what is shown on the filter, the only thing that will be changed in the find/replace.
