Controls for Procedure Creation Wizard Version Compatibility with /Free

I would like a *persistent* check-box on the Procedure Creation Wizard that allows for the Free/Fixed choice for D and P specs independently of the Free/Fixed for C specs.


Use Case:

I have been using V9.1 since it came out, but I am stuck on V5R3. When using the wizard to create a procedure it creates it with free form 'D' and 'P' specs which is not supported on my system.

The RPG Procedure Wizard currently offers a 'Generate Free-Form Code' Check-Box but does not allow for differentiation between Free-Form D and P specs and the Free-Form C specs.

Having a PERSISTENT extra Check-Box for the Free-Form D and P specs would solve the problem.
