Re: RPG to Java Conversion Tool.

["Jake M" <jakeroc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Paul,
You are absolutely right. I glanced at some code and I am so tempted to call
it 'RAVA'. What the conversion s/w has done is made classes out of the
complex AS/400 commands and operations like MOVE and CHAIN and several
others. I think the concern here is you cannot compile those java classes in
normal sdk environment. You have to install that complex framework which
consists of commands converted into classes. I hope I am explaining this
correctly....Thanks a bunch for the input. I appreciate it.

Jake.
