Re: Convert RPG to ILERPG

Performance of the code at run time? Performance of the programmers and ability to train newbies?

For run time performance my experience is that there may be a small performance gain in some programs and a small loss in others. The majority of the gains are made by making small tweaks to the program. For example a program using FEOD can be updated to use the more efficient FEOD(N) in RPG IV. Also changing old inefficient methods of working for new language capabilities.

Generally though if all you are looking to do is convert and then do nothing with the code it will not be worth the effort. If you are making updates and anticipate ongoing maintenance then I would _always_ upgrade the code to RPG IV unless there was some major reason not to. There are too many wonderful features in RPG IV that make so many things easier to do that to not take advantage of it is foolish in my opinion.
