Re: Convert to free ( was: Outline not working on large RPGLE)

He is mistaken. Converting MOVE has never been supported by RDi or it's
predecessors.

Perhaps he had a third party plugin that added it?

If so, he should be able to re-add the plug in to the latest version.

Buck,

Thank you so much for your help.

I know this has most likely been answered before on this list.
I just started on the list today, but have been on the other lists for a
long time.
I did try the archives but maybe my search values weren't good.

It would have to be pretty smart to get the old moves correct.
I'm thinking that's why I was hired, due to all the moves from alpha to
numeric and vice versa in their monolithic programs.

Did the old version do it or is my coworker mistaken?
I would think if it was there, IBM wouldn't remove it.

Thanks again,

Craig

Btw, is there a way to convert H,F,D, specs to free format by
highlighting and right clicking?

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: http://jcrcmds.com/index.html
