Conversion

Can this be converted to Free? If so, what's the easiest way?
(all @ fields are numeric (P=period, W=week)

     C     HAWeek        ADD       3             @P
     C     @P            DIV       4             @P
     C                   MVR                     @W
     C                   ADD       1             @W

thanks for the help!

Re: Conversion

Hi,

try the following:

/Free
@W = %Rem(%Int(HAWeek + 3): 4) + 1;
/End-Free

Re: Conversion

But...

I need both numbers (@P and @W) ... so, what about

@P = %Int( HAWeek + 3 ) / 4;
@W = %Rem( %Int( HAWeek + 3 ) : 4 ) + 1;

Yes? No? Maybe?

Re: Conversion

Hi,

I'd change it as follows:

@P = %Div(%Int( HAWeek + 3 ): 4);
or
@P = %Int(%Int(HAWeek + 3) / 4);

Re: Conversion

The easiest way IMHO to learn free - open your program using lpex editor. Click on "convert to free-form", and the entire C-specs (or a selection) gets converted instantly to freeform. OK, you can rewrite to improve on the converted specs, but it does a decent job. Also has a built in reference guide that shows commands / BIFs / freeform versions. If you are keying in a BIF, pressing Ctry-Space prompts for the next parm.

Re: Conversion

The LPEX editor is part of WDSc. This comes as a seperate set of CD's and is shipped at no charge with the operating system if you purchase any of the WDS compilers (such as RPG, COBOL, BASIC, etc).

WSDc installs on the PC, and can edit files on the PC or any AS400. The LPEX editor edits RPG, COBOL, DDS, JAVA, XML, HTML, others.

Ask your system operator to look for a set of CD's marked "Websphere Development Studio Client". They are usually in a "book" of CD's.
