Re: Converting RPG to RPGLE

["Michael Ryan" <michaelrtr@xxxxxxxxx>]

I doubt if you would get any speed advantage. I'm sure the compiler is more
efficient, but any gain would probably be small. I take the approach of
converting source when I need to make a change to it. Otherwise I leave it
alone. You would have a big testing project if you were to convert all that
code. I would think you would want to unit test each program and perform
regression testing on the system.
