I was told it existed in school but was lead to believe it no longer

"modernize it". Is there a tool to help convert it to RPG or RPGLE code
similar to CVTRPGSRC?
Mike:
Like most others here, I'd probably rewrite as much as possible.
However, I'd almost certainly start by doing straight conversions of
everything into an intermediate library. I'd be glad to have numerous
sections of code that could simply be copy/pasted.
I'd also like to have the original code plus the resulting converted
code to use as a guide. Conversion by tool may make a mess of some
things, but it can help catch things that might just subconsciously slip
past you. These might be commented-out lines that you don't notice or
almost anything.
It shouldn't add much effort to prepare and it can save effort later. In
a few cases, it _might_ even do all the work for you. Use the system to
do work -- it's what your expertise is intended to do, eh?
