The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Arcad also has tools to convert these things.

Btw, is there a way to convert H,F,D, specs to free format by

Not from IBM. I posted a very ugly first cut at a plug-in that would do that, but if you're new to RDi, I wouldn't consider trying to use that.
A coworker says it worked in previous releases but no long works in 9.5.
(He just downloaded 9.5 today)
It works with C specs but puts in /FREE and /END-FREE.
Yes, that is what comes with RDi. There's no support (yet) for H, F, and D-specifications.
It also won't do *Entry Plist.
Yep. There are a bunch of operations the RDi function won't handle, like MOVE and GOTO. I myself am OK with that; I don't want a tool to convert a MOVE to an EVAL without a deep understanding of what the code is /intended/ to do. Sometimes I want to truncate, sometimes it's an error!
Having said that, there is at least one vendor of a tool which converts more than RDi does - Linoma. Not a customer, so not familiar. Others on the list have used it though. Also, Craig Rutledge has a tool in his JCRCMDS for this:
