Mike, you've got to read the whole "RPG and Java" section in the ILE RPG
Programmer's Guide.

But I'll give you a hint.  With a non-static method, Java needs to know
what object is being used.  In Java, you would code something like this,
where "myObj" is your object:
      myObj.conversionTest(sFile, format);

RPG needs a way to tell Java what object is being used.  You have to
code "myObj" somewhere in that call.  But RPG doesn't have the
myObj.conversionTest syntax, so ...
