Converting Your Source
5. Check the log file or the error report for any errors. For more information, see
“Analyzing Your Conversion” on page 393.
6. If there are errors, correct them and go to step 4 on page 382.
7. If there are no errors, create your program. For information on how to create
ILE RPG programs, see Chapter 6, “Creating a Program with the
CRTBNDRPG Command” on page 57.
8. If your converted source member still has compilation problems, these are most
likely caused because your primary source member contains /COPY compiler
directives. You have two choices to correct this situation:
a. Reconvert your source member specifying EXPCPY(*YES) to expand copy
members into your converted source member.
b. Manually correct any remaining errors using the compiler listing as a guide.
Refer to “Resolving Conversion Problems” on page 398 for further information.
9. Once your converted source member has compiled successfully, retest the
program before putting it back into production.
