I know that there is the CVTRPGSRC command (and Linoma's follow-on) that can convert any RPG III to ILE. There is almost nothing, other than learning curve, that keeps you from converting as you make alterations, and run in ILE with basically existing code. Is there an equivalent for COBOL? Can the source type be changed, and you're done, as you can do with RPG36 - or is it RPG38? Just change the source type to CBLLE, recompile, and you're done? My ignorance is probably obvious.

My first thought is why presume it would be disruptive ???

Change = disruption is often followed followed by "status quo = stagnation =
Microsoft "solution" waiting to happen

If this does not apply to your company I apologize - but I'm a little
jaundiced right now.  I'm currently working with the fourth company in a row
that thought RPG/400 was "good enough" for too many years.  As a result they
are now finding that hordes of Java and .Net programmers are wiping out their
RPG programming jobs and recoding all the business logic because they had not
isolated their business processes and could not respond fast enough to
changing business needs....
