I have to second the recommendation of Linoma's tool.

It's not that expensive, it's just as safe as IBM's CVTRPGSRC but it

RPG program, but you will have a full fledged RPG IV program.

That's a great statement, Charles. ILE implies RPG IV, but not vice versa. You can write perfectly acceptable RPG IV programs that don't use any ILE concepts at all. On the other hand, you can also write RPG IV programs that are little more than reformatted RPG III source, and that's what you get with CVTRPGSRC.

The Linoma tool gives a much better result and while not perfect it's a very good starting point.
