of the original

generic

source members.

source-file-member-name

Enter the name of the converted source member. If the member exist it will be created.

EXPCPY

Specifies whether or not /COPY member(s) is expanded into the conve source member. EXPCPY(*YES) should be specified only if you are havi conversion problems pertaining to /COPY members.

Note: If the

member

is

of

type RPT or RPT38, EXPCPY(*YES) or

EXPCPY(*NO)

has

no

effect

because the auto report program will

always expand

the

/COPY

members.

*NO

Do not expand the /COPY file member(s) into the converted source

*YES

Expands the /COPY file member(s) into the converted source.

CVTRPT

Specifies whether or not a conversion report is printed.

*YES

The conversion report is printed.

*NO

The conversion report is not printed.

SECLVL

Specifies whether second-level text is printed in the conversion rep message summary section.

*NO

Second-level message text is not printed in the conversion report.

*YES

Second-level message text is printed in the conversion report.

INSRTPL

Specifies if the ILE RPG specification templates (H-, F-, D-, I-, C- O-specification template), are inserted in the converted source membe default value is *NO.

*NO

A specification template is not inserted in the converted source

*YES

A specification template is inserted in the converted source memb specification template is inserted at the beginning of the appro cation section.

AS/400 specifications

The IBM AS/400, now known as the IBM iSeries, is a midrange computer system that has been a cornerstone of enterprise computing since its introduction in 1988. Designed to provide a robust platform for business applications, the AS/400 is celebrated for its reliability, scalability, and integrated database capabilities.

One of the key features of the AS/400 is its Integrated Operating Environment, which blends hardware and software resources seamlessly. This integration allows businesses to execute diverse workloads, ranging from traditional applications to modern web-based services, all on a single platform. The operating system, OS/400 (now IBM i), offers a rich set of APIs and tools for developers, simplifying application development and management.

Another standout characteristic of the AS/400 is its built-in database, DB2 for i. This powerful relational database management system allows for efficient data handling and provides advanced features such as support for SQL, XML, and JSON, making it easier for businesses to manage their data and integrate it with other systems. The database's tight integration with the operating system enables high performance and security.

In terms of scalability, the AS/400 can accommodate small businesses as well as large enterprises, with the ability to support hundreds of users simultaneously. Its architecture allows for easy upgrades in hardware, meaning that organizations can scale their systems without replacing the entire infrastructure.

Security is another critical attribute of the AS/400. With a sophisticated security model, it offers built-in user authentication, access control, encryption, and auditing capabilities to protect data and applications from unauthorized access.

The AS/400 also supports multiple programming languages, including RPG, COBOL, Java, and PHP, giving organizations the flexibility to choose the development tools that best fit their needs. This diversity helps maintain legacy applications while also developing new ones that leverage modern technologies.

Moreover, the platform supports both traditional green-screen interfaces and modern graphical user interfaces, allowing organizations to transition smoothly into contemporary user experience paradigms.

Overall, the IBM AS/400 stands out as a resilient, flexible, and secure computing platform that enables organizations to effectively manage their business operations, streamline processes, and adapt to changing market demands. Its unique combination of integrated features and capabilities ensures that it remains relevant in today's fast-paced technology landscape.
