Modernize RPG400 to RPG ILE FREE and PF to SQL - 3 - RPG Modernize to RPG Freeformat
Time to dive into the existing RPG400 (Column Based Old Style RPG) and set it FREE. This means using Visual Studio Code, and the Code4i plugin, to automatically upgrade the old legacy code style to modern free format RPG ILE. This does a pretty good job easily upgrading 90% of the code - so come with me while I walk through the code base and manually fix the few lines it couldnt automatically handle.
SPOILER ALERT - don't laugh at me when I make RPG conversion mistakes. They are deliberate. Honest ;)
