Hi Scott or anyone else,

I have a program I'm trying to convert to full free form RPG and it doesn't like the yajl_h header file because it's not full free form.

Is there a way to compile with the included yajl_h fill without reverting back to non full free form ?

Or has anyone converted the yajl_h header to be entirely free form RPG ?

Thoughts appreciated.

Thanks
Regards
Richard Schoen

I don't agree with you. That's not how RPG works -- it does not reject copybooks because they aren't fully-free format. It will automatically work with a fixed format copybook in a fully-free program.

I've done this a zillion times. Plus, that's how it's documented to work.

I think you are likely having a completely different problem and are incorrectly attributing it to the format of the source.

Yes, just use the existing copybook from your fully-free program, it will work fine.

OK thanks for confirming it should work.

I was going to come chat with you this morning at your JSON session but I slept in.
