You could run the CHGPFM command to set your Source type
after you've transferred the member.

Subject: [COBOL400-L] Moving Source Code from another
platform to ILECOBOL/400


There must be an easier, or more proper way to do this......

I have COBOL source code residing on an AIX box that I want
to move to the
AS/400.

Here's what I did to move it:

1) In the QCBLLESRC file, I created an empty CBL source
member named   TEST
(type CBL)

2) On the AIX box, I opened an FTP connection to the AS/400

3) I changed directory to the AS/400 library

4) I then did:   put  TEST.CBL  QCBLLESRC.TEST

5) I closed the FTP connection

At this point, my code was intact.  I had to change a couple
of DISPLAY and
ACCEPT lines, but after doing so, I was able to compile and run
successfully.

I tried this omitting step 1 above, put then my source code
does not have a
'TYPE' once it is copied to the 400.

I'm sure there must be an easier way to do this....

Is there someone on this group that has any suggestions?
Does anyone have any scripts, etc to automatically make the
minor source
code changes required?

Thanks!

PS - I will keep the group updated with new information
regarding this if
anyone is interested
