Re: How much testing required after CVTRPGSRC?

True - but given that the compiler has been available for over 21 years … well let’s just say that other than the documented differences (such as the aforementioned FREE op-code) there can be very few differences that have yet to be reported and fixed.

One simple example - entire JDE suite converted by one customer (two people) over a weekend. CVTRPGSRC threw up a couple of things that were easily remedied. They were fixed and a mass recompile submitted on Saturday. Sunday they resolved the couple of compile failures and tested. Monday the new version went into production. Zero problems reported.

You mileage may vary - and normally I’d want more testing than this but … compatibility was, and still is, a very high priority for the compiler team.

The conversion of the source, in conjunction with reviewing the conversion
report and understanding it, is not the issue. The RPG-III (RPG-400)
compiler and RPG-IV compiler are different animals and will generate
different object code.

I've used cvtrpgsrc and never had a problem. Doesn't It just move
columns around?
