S36 To AS400 Conversion

[Jack Kingsley II]

Anyone have any cheat sheet notes on doing one of these conversions.

What release are you going to? Migrating to S/36 environment on a
current release or restoring a S/36 machine onto an older release?

V5R3 of I5/OS, I have the system value set to *S36. The system is a
S36.

few points off top of my head.

ocl will run in s36 environment, mostly unchanged. some statements
have to be changed, some will be ignored.

all source must be recompiled. rpg ii, menus, msg files, etc.

assemble routines dont migrate. re-write.

WSU does not migrate. re-write.

telephone com must be migrated to os/400 techniques. iex. create
controller, device, and line.

if you need help, we are available. joe leblanc www.michsoft.com

There is an IBM Red Book S36 to AS400 conversion covering OCL to CL,
and RPGII to RPGIII conversions.

IBM used to have software to convert from S/36 OCL to S/38 CL. Does this
still exist (It can be used to convert to AS400 CL)

I had to do this about 2 years ago and used Target/400. There are 3
companies that have software for this (One of the others is NCS and I
don't recall the third.) Link for Target/400 is below:

I would recommmend getting the trial version of all 3 -- IIRC, you get
10 free conversions. You can compare the differences that way.

Overall, it made life a lot easier -- the only part that I ended up
having to rewrite (my own choice) was getting rid of the sorts and
changing them to Opnqryf.

I would not set the QSPCENV system value to *S36
it should be set to *NONE. Then, set your user's
profile to indicate if they are a *S36 user (SPCENV).
The iSeries/i5 has built in migration tools to help
you move from any form of SSP to the OS/400 - i5/OS
S36 environment. From there you can start the migration
process to take advantage of the data base and enhanced
operating environment the iSeries provides.
