Well...You have to create a new source file with a different record length.

Even if one never uses the free form specifications and never look at a BIF
and continue to use the exact same style as your RPG III code, one gets the
instant and wonderful benefit of Fewer Restrictions!  Long variable names!
Mixed case names!  Longer character fields!  More array elements!  10
character file names!  And the best part of all is that the learning curve
for all these things is ZERO!  Who needs training to understand 15 character
variable names as opposed to 6 character names?  There isn't an RPG
programmer who hasn't said bad words about being limited to 6 character
variable names...  Come on!  Who could resist a free upgrade (RPG IV's
already bundled with the RPG III compiler) with a zero learning curve?
