what's the difference between ANZOBJCVN *COLLECT and *REPORT?
Should I run *REPORT? I see that I misstated what I was doing...
I'm going to run ANZOBJCVN not the actual conversion itself.

From chapter 3 of the IBM Redpaper document "IBM i Program Conversion: Getting Ready for 6.1 and Beyond", link just above:

3.2.2 Examples of collection commands

We suggest one of two approaches to collect data.

One way is to collect all types of information at once, so that all collection files are populated, by using the ANZOBJCVN command in Figure 3-6. This command collects information about all program objects found in libraries in the *ALLUSR portion of the system (not including exceptions listed in 3.2.1, "Parameters of the ANZOBJCVN *COLLECT command" on page 18), spooled files, and all relevant objects in the integrated file system.

<<SNIP ?ANZOBJ OPTION(*COLLECT) OBJ('/')>>
Figure 3-6 ANZOBJCVN collection on *ALLUSR libraries, the integrated file system, and spooled files

Alternatively, you can split the data collection process into two steps. For example, you can collect data on program model objects in *ALLUSR libraries and on spooled files:
ANZOBJCVN OPTION(*COLLECT) LIB(*ALLUSR) SPLFILE(*YES)

<<SNIP>>

3.3 Creating reports

The ANZOBJCVN command has two functions:
- To collect
- To report
Initial usage of the command is to collect information. Then you can use the report parameter to generate a spooled file listing of information that was previously collected. In this section, we explain how to generate reports with the ANZOBJCVN OPTION(*REPORT) command. When the ANZOBJCVN command is run with OPTION(*REPORT), the tool generates a report in a spooled file called QPIZARPT, based on the data of the type last collected with the ANZOBJCVN OPTION(*COLLECT) command.
