I was pretty certain that any valid RPG-III code would always convert to
compilable RPG-IV code using CVTRPGSRC. But, it's been so long since I've
had to deal with that, I'm not sure. I know that /free calcs obsoleted
some of the obscure opcodes, but a plain vanilla conversion using CVTRPGSRC
should always convert to compilable code.
