 Um... CVTRPGSRC?

You might want to also consider a tool from Connection 2000....CVTILERPG.  We
paid about $300US and it has been worth every penny.  It goes a step beyond
IBM's tool.  Changes *LIKEs to D specs, etc.  The biggest thing to watch when
converting is that MOVE will allow you to use varables that are not defined
the same (numeric to alpha, etc) and EVAL will not.  Other than that....its a
fancy RPG.  Until the ILE part kicks in with bound calls, etc.
