CRTRPGPGM is for RPG/400 source. For RPG/II you would use CRTS36RPG.

Those of us who are old enough might recall a S/34 to S/38 conversion tool
that produced the dazzling new RPG/III source from our dull old RPG/II.
There are a few things in RPG/II that won't compile directly in RPG/400,
but don't ask me to tell you off-hand what they are. I think they're
principally concerned with display handling. More importantly there are
differences in the way the compiled program will behave. Converting RPG/II
to RPG/400 is relatively straightforward, but it is still a conversion and
not just a recompile.
