Re: Convert sources for RDi

as we are starting using RDi, we have a lot of our sources in OPM (RPG and COBOL). And most of functionality on RDi works only on ILE sources.

I would say that most of the functionality of IBM i works with ILE!

Please do you have any experience about converting sources from OPM to ILE? Has this conversion any big troubles?

I do not convert all of my OPM to ILE. I do convert each individual
program that I need to maintain. I have a user action (which is very
like a PDM action) that converts the syntax for me. Right click a
member > User Actions > Work with User Actions...

CVTRPGSRC FROMFILE(&L/&F) FROMMBR(&N) TOFILE(&l/QRPGLESRC) LOGFILE(*NONE)

Since I am modifying this program, I am going to test it, so any
problems due to running in an activation group can be discovered. I
don't typically find any issues - OPNQRYF is the usual problem because
OVRSCOPE has the wrong default.

Usually, I convert, edit, compile and run with out any issues due to
being ILE.
