Re: Fed up with green screen plodders -- WDSCI-L

Vern,

No it doesn't although that'd be nice.

But PDM and RSE don't have issues, SEU and LPEX maybe.

But as long as you immediately run the CVTRPGSRC command after changing the object type in Aldon, you
won't have issues.

Actually, a bigger problem is that CVTRPGSRC complains for two reasons:
1) You can't overwrite an existing source.
2) The source type in development is already RPGLE.

I get around those by simply deleting the member in the development environment, and running the
CFTRPGSRC over the member in production with the output going to development.

RPGWIZ from Linoma (which BTW does a much, much nicer job converting), is a little easier as it
doesn't mind overwriting an existing source.

Honestly, I always meant to put together a PDM option that would run the conversion from within Aldon,
but never got around to it.

Does Aldon actually run the converter when you change the
attribute? Otherwise, it means nothing and actually confuses
PDM and probably RSE.

Just wondering!!

and it would also be a problem in Implementer - I would have to
remove the original RPG program from Implementer and add

it again as

an RPGLE program, causing even more work.

Have you asked MKS about this? I'd be surprised if you

actually needed

to do this. Converting an object from RPG III to RPG IV is a pretty
common task now-a-days.

I know in Aldon, you simply check out the object and change the
attribute from RPG to RPGLE.
Optionally, you can move the source from QRPGSRC to QRPGLESRC, but
that's optional since you can have any source member in any source
file you'd like.

Aldon is perfectly capabile of dealing with the fact that

two version

of the object exist, an RPG III one and an RPG IV one, while you
promote the object forward to production. Once the RPG IV

version is

in production, then the object only exists as RPG IV,

though the RPG

III source might have been archived.

Actually, the same functionality covers converting a DDS

defined *FILE

object to an SQL DDL defined *TABLE, *VIEW, *INDEX object.

HTH,
Charles
