It is probably good enough "as is".
I've used some conversion tools, such as the ones mentioned already on
this
list, and they've worked well to update the code so its less labor
intensive
to turn crappy RPGIII style into RPG IV style--but it is not strictly
necessary to make it work like RPGIII--as was your question.

One thing I would do, however, is a scan/replace (manually) an convert
the
"B" data-types to "I" data-types.

4B0 -> 5I0
9B0 -> 10I0

The use of "B" data-types in RPG IV should be against the law, and
punishable by forfeiting your 401k in its entirety.

HI,

I am converting a Production program written in RPG, to ILE using the
system conversion tool. It compiles fine and looks good. Is there any
special tests I should run or anything to be concerned with or is it
fine to just put it right into Production?

 

Thank you,
