Before getting involved with RPGIV, you have to invest in a transformation
routine.

We only convert RPG that has to be modified.

We created a CRTOBJ-tool (tailored for our PROD/TEST environment) that on
compile of RPG code, has a  parameter CVTILE(default *YES) that converts to
ILE, checks & converts non converted /COPYs and renames to old sourcecode
type (from RPG to RPG#ILE, no more RPG code, not compileable anymore).

The compile uses CRTRPGMOD/CRTPGM, so no difference between legacy code and
new RPGIV pgms.

Once the routine is made, you're off without problems.
at least, it works fine at our place.
