You don't even need to do that.  Aldon supports converting an OPM
object into *PGM BND ILE (Uses CRTBNDxxx commands) or a true ILE
*MODULE with a non-source ILE Program.  Conversion from OPM to ILE has
been support considerably longer than the ability to retire objects.

In addition, recent (7.4+) version of Aldon support converting from
*FILE PF to *TABLE and *FILE LF to *INDEX SQL or *VIEW SQL

No it doesn't.  "Attribute" corresponds (roughly) to the PDM "Type" column.
