Re: Converting RPT programs . . .

[VWilliamson@xxxxxxxxxxx]

We had several RPT RPGIII programs at one time.  We found that it didn't
matter if the source type was RPT or RPG.  As long as the /COPY members
were in the proper place in your source and had only one source type, the
compiler still went out and retrieved the correct copy member in the
source.  When we converted to RPGIV with the source type as RPG, the new
RPGIV source came across just find.  Of course, you have to make sure your
copy books are converted also before you can compile the new source.  If
your copy books have more than 1 source type and you need to have the
pre-compile auto report sorting of your spec types, then you will need to
rework your copy books, because the RPGIV compiler won't do this.  Some of
the other suggestions on this list would be better in that case.
