Re: Maintaining old RPG 2 or 3 code on RDi

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

RDi isn't much better than SEU for RPG III code...

Even when I still worked with a bunch of RPG III, I'd do a CVTRPGSRC before
making any changes.

If I just wanted to look at RPG III code, I'd CVTRPGSRC to a temporary
member...

Unless you happen to be using one of the few op-codes that don't convert,
there's little excuse not to convert.  And if you do use one of those
non-converting op-codes...you're probably using it wrong anyway ;)

Now that IBM licenses the two compilers separately, you'll save $$$
(eventuality) if you stop using the RPGIII compiler.
