Re: Converting RPG to RPG ILE

When we did the RPG-to-RPGLE thing back at one of my previous projects, we 
got bitten by the OVRDBF bug.

If you have mixed ILE and OPM programs, the OVRSCOPE parameter can be very 
important.

Re: Converting RPG to RPG ILE






I have converted thousands like that at various clients, either in large 
groups
or one by one. If you have a formal testing environment, I would at least
execute it in that test area. On some systems with no test env, I have 
converted it
then executed in production. Very rarely (years ago) I've hit an error 
compiling, so I do not
blindly convert without looking at results. Biggest problems have been 
with
previous programmers compiling with ignore decimal errors, or with an 
ovrdbf 
in effect,
and whether blindly compiling as rpgiii or iv it's a problem.
