Re: How to convert System 36 RPG?

["Jim Franz" <jfranz@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

even without the S36 "machine", you should still be able to run a STRS36PRC
to run s36 procs & RPG36. Still better is to convert. Is no IBM command.
There is a tool I've used a few times, at
http://www.alcsoftware.com/ncs/ . Very good & cheap.Or they (or others) will
do it for you. good Luck.
