Oops. I guess I pasted it before I fixed it.

... If we want to really convert it to pure RPG/ILE environment, the use of SUBR01 is incorrect, since it is part of the S/36 environment... The only workaround is to develop my own program to be used with my special file...

If you are getting out of the S/36 environment completely, then there's no point at all in trying to duplicate the exact function of SUBR01.

The native version of your application probably won't even use a special file, but I could be wrong, since I have no idea what kind of data you're currently getting with SUBR01.
