If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Jack,

What kind of session device error are you getting? Our basic package here
is RPG II. All of the workstations are coded as CP (combined primary),
though in a previous life I always used CD (combined demand). The
difference is that CP always reads a blank record first, for which one has
to code. Whereas with the CD the programmer is in control (EXCPT then read
it at the top of the next cycle).

I haven't converted any RPG II programs to RPG/400, much less RPG IV.
Usually just re-write them if major changes are needed. Otherwise I leave
them alone (I outgrew my masochism).

I've been doing a few of these lately. There isn't too much OCL so it's not
too bad.



I've been leaving the display formats as internally described. If I just
convert the program and fix it up and run it, I get a session device error.



I can fix that by putting a 1P on the output spec of the first screen, but
sometimes I need to grab the LDA first or something similar.



I remember from my old days there was another way to fix that, maybe via a
compile option on the DSPF?



Thanks, Jack
