Yes, the Linoma RPG tools are fantastic - they take the results of the CVTRPGSRC and do it right - moving definitions out of C-specs, all the rest, and at your own control of what gets done. IBM's thing merely moves the columns around, which is OK, but one really needs what Linoma has done, to get the structure of the code changed and modernized.

Preaching to the choir!

Vern,

No it doesn't although that'd be nice.

But PDM and RSE don't have issues, SEU and LPEX maybe.

But as long as you immediately run the CVTRPGSRC command after changing the
object type in Aldon, you
won't have issues.

Actually, a bigger problem is that CVTRPGSRC complains for two reasons:
1) You can't overwrite an existing source.
2) The source type in development is already RPGLE.

I get around those by simply deleting the member in the development environment,
and running the
CFTRPGSRC over the member in production with the output going to development.

RPGWIZ from Linoma (which BTW does a much, much nicer job converting), is a
little easier as it
doesn't mind overwriting an existing source.

Honestly, I always meant to put together a PDM option that would run the
conversion from within Aldon,
but never got around to it.

Does Aldon actually run the converter when you change the
attribute? Otherwise, it means nothing and actually confuses
PDM and probably RSE.

Just wondering!!
