RE: QSYSINC/QUSLFLD usage in RPG in V5R2

["John Brandt Sr." <pgmr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How about a different option. Create your own libraries like I did to keep
the older versions intact.

/if defined( *V4R5M0 )
D/COPY MSYSV4R5/QRPGLESRC,QUSLFLD
/endif
/if defined( *V5R1M0 )
D/COPY MSYSV5R1/QRPGLESRC,QUSLFLD
/endif/if defined( *V5R2M0 )
D/COPY QSYSINC/QRPGLESRC,QUSLFLD
/endif

what about adding some conditional compile stmts to the QUSLFLD source
member?
 
 /if defined( *V5R2M0 )
 QUSICCSW              477    492P 0
 /endif
