Re: Maintaining old RPG 2 or 3 code on RDi

Do you believe that RDi does not like source type RPG & works only on RPGLE

I personally feel it is a matter of professional ethics to try to
persuade an employer to stop maintaining RPG III code. But not every
employer believes we are professionals.

My advice to you is to create an RDi user command to implement
CVTRPGSRC. Open up that RPG III member, run CVTRPGSRC on it, and then
open the RPG IV member at the same time. Use the modern analysis
tooling on the RPG IV member, and edit the RPG III member. After a few
edits, the two members will be out of synch, and you'll have to close
the RPG IV, run CVTRPGSRC, and re-open the RPG IV to look at the
'current' version.

Ctrl-F6 will bounce between the two edit windows so you won't have to
keep using the mouse to change focus.

Good luck!
