Source Member Types
Source Member Types
Table 1 lists the various source member types, indicates whether the member type can be converted, and indicates the output source member type.
Table 1. Source Member Types and their Conversion Status
| Source Member Type | Convert? | Converted Member Type |
|---|---|---|
| RPG | Yes | RPGLE |
| RPG38 | Yes | RPGLE |
| RPT | Yes | RPGLE |
| RPT38 | Yes | RPGLE |
| ’blank’ | Yes | RPGLE |
| RPG36 | No | N/A |
| RPT36 | No | N/A |
| SQLRPG | Yes | SQLRPGLE |
| Any other type | No | N/A |
If the source member type is ‘blank’, then the Conversion Aid will assume it has a member type of RPG. If the source member type is blank for an auto report source member, then you should assign the correct source member type (RPT or RPT38) to the member before converting it. If you do, then the Conversion Aid will automatically expand the auto report source member so that it can be converted properly. The expansion is necessary since ILE RPG does not support auto report source members.
