RE: Objects which will not convert -- MIDRANGE-L

If you compile your programs for a target release of V5R1 or higher,
even if you tell them to remove observability,
they will convert.
Read section 3.6.1 at
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpapers/pdfs/redp4293.pdf

That was an enhancement they delivered at V5R1, but nobody cared until 6.1.

Rob,

Correct me if I'm wrong,
but doesn't the object need to contain all Observable information . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *ALL to be converted.
If an object does not, Observable information . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *UNOBS, it cannot be converted.

Subject: Objects which will not convert

Well, we've been past V5R4 for a LONG time now, however while trying to optimize code using the post I posted from yesterday I noticed some programs will not optimize. So I tried the "traditional" checks. They failed those.
Vendor supplied stuff

STROBJCVN OPTION(*CHECK) LIB(ERPLXO) OBJTYPE(*ALLPGM)

Object CRTWCQ has not been converted.
Checking of objects was successful.

STROBJCVN OPTION(*CONVERT) LIB(ERPLXO)

Object CRTWCQ type *PGM in library ERPLXO cannot be converted.
Not all objects were converted.

STROBJCVN OPTION(*CHECK) LIB(ERPLXPTFO) OBJTYPE(*ALLPGM

Object METHODS has not been converted.
Object VERROR has not been converted.
Object NWICSTUB has not been converted.
Checking of objects was successful.

Apparently we are not using these or they would have blown to kingdom come, right?
The failed object in ERPLXO has a newer version in ERPLXPTFO, which is the vendor way of fixing stuff, until their next release.
I guess we'll let these sleeping dogs lie.
