You won't have what I would call an ILE
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.

Hi, Joe, that's also a great statement. I wish you ( and others ) would expound upon that.
I'm sure that a lot of people could benefit besides myself. I am wondering if writing "reformatted RPG III source" is partly responsable for the gradual demise of RPG.
