TARGET/400 Technical Description.
RPG II
and ASNA
400 RPG Conversion
All program
types are converted, including SRT's MRT's and auto report programs. RPG II left
hand indicator references are automatically restructured to optimize the converted RPG/400
code for performance. You may choose to convert to RPG/400 (RPG III) or
directly to ILE (RPG IV) which is the recommended route
.
OCL to CL
Conversion
OCL
procedures are converted to CL/400 programs. The converted CL programs may be
optimized for performance, for example, disk file create/delete requests may be kept to a
minimum in order to eliminate excessive system overhead at execution time.
If
program optimization is requested, multi member file processing is introduced for ?WS?
files and file ODP (open data path) sharing is implemented where ever appropriate.
Pre-Conversion
Library Analysis
Statistical analysis reports list the S/36 functions not converted and print statistical
totals in the form of 'hit rate' percentages. the OCL conversion percentage is
typically in excess of 98 percent.
The library analysis
option is made available with the demonstration version of Target/400 on the AS/400 and is
also independently
available for the System/36 platform. |
Screen Format Conversion
S/36 SFGR screen
specifications are converted to DDS specifications, the screen field names and attributes
may optionally be determined from the RPG program specifications so as to ensure that the
converted output specifications are compatible with the internal RPG program usage and
contain meaningful field names.
Sort
Conversion
Sort parameters are
extracted from your OCL and converted to native mode sort source members for use by the
native FMTDTA command in the converted CL/400 programs. The SRTDTA command is also
supplied with TARGET/400, permitting the use of
parameter and substitution expressions in the native mode sort statements.
