No mystery to this.  It cannot convert to %Lookup because it is not 100%
identical in function.  If the array is specified as sequenced, %lookup will
do a binary search, LOOKUP did a linear search.  The result is that LOOKUP
will find an out of sequence entry (i.e. when building the array before
sorting it) whereas %lookup will not.

There are other minor differences but this is the biggie.

I agree that the tool is currently "broken" and should be fixed.  

Does anyone who has Linoma's tool know how it handles this?  Their tool does a
lot more reengineering than the IBM one.
