Converting Your Source

Converting All Members in a File

You can convert all of the members in a source physical file by spe FROMMBR(*ALL) and TOMBR(*FROMMBR) on the CVTRPGSRC command. The

Conversion Aid will attempt to convert all members in the file specified. member should fail to convert, the conversion process will still continue.

For	example, if you want to	convert all source members in the file QRP
the	file QRPGLESRC, you would	enter:

CVTRPGSRC FROMFILE(OLDRPG/QRPGSRC)

FROMMBR(*ALL)

TOFILE(NEWRPG/QRPGLESRC)

TOMBR(*FROMMBR)

This command converts all of the source members in library OLDRPG in the physical file QRPGSRC. The new members are created in library NEWRPG in source physical file QRPGLESRC.

If	you prefer to	keep all source		(DDS source, RPG source, etc.) in
you can still convert the RPG source				members in one step, by specifyi
FROMMBR(*ALL). The Conversion Aid			will only	convert members with a valid RPG
type	(see Table 30	on page	380).

Converting Some Members	in	a File
If	you	need	to convert only some members that					are	in	a source	physi
these members			share	a	common prefix in	the	member		name,	then you	can
them	by	specifying		the	prefix followed	by	an	* (asterisk).

For example, if you want to convert all members with a prefix of PAY, enter:

CVTRPGSRC FROMFILE(OLDRPG/QRPGSRC)

FROMMBR(PAY*)

TOFILE(NEWRPG/QRPGLESRC)

TOMBR(*FROMMBR)

This command converts all of the source members in library OLDRPG in the physical file QRPGSRC. The new members are created in library NEWRPG in source physical file QRPGLESRC.

Performing a Trial Conversion

You can	do	a	trial run	for	any	source member that you suspect you
lems converting. You will then					get	a conversion report for the converted
member	that	may	identify	certain		conversion errors.

For example, to perform a trial conversion on the source member PAYROLL,

CVTRPGSRC FROMFILE(OLDRPG/QRPGSRC)

FROMMBR(PAYROLL)

TOFILE(*NONE)

The	TOMBR parameter should be specified as *FROMMBR. However, since	thi
the	default, you do not need to specify it unless the default	value

changed. The CVTRPT parameter should be specified as *YES — this is a default. If it is not, then the conversion will stop immediately.
