The main problem is that all of the files are in QS36F.  My understanding
is that RPG II and OCL only look at QS36F for files.  There are also some
files which are not plant specific.

Going native, converting to RPG/400 and OCL also gives us many
advantages such as: faster/easier development, separate test
environment, externally described files/screens/pirnter output, etc.

During the conversion process, I would make plant part of the key and
eliminate plant specific files.  Also eliminate many GSORTS and create
logical files for these which would remove many BLDFILE/DELETES
which are resource intensive.
