The Conversion Aid uses a log file to provide audit trails on the status of each source member conversion. By browsing the log file, you can determine the status of previous conversions. You can access the log file with a user-written program for further processing, for example, compiling and binding programs.
If you specify that a log file is to be updated, then its record format must match the format of the IBM-suppled "model" database file QARNCVTLG in library QRPGLE. Figure 227 shows the DDS for this file. Use the following CRTDUPOBJ command to create a copy of this model in your own library, referred to here as MYLIB. You may want to name your log file QRNCVTLG, as this is the default log file name for the Conversion Aid.
CRTDUPOBJ OBJ(QARNCVTLG) FROMLIB(QRPGLE) OBJTYPE(*FILE)
TOLIB(MYLIB) NEWOBJ(QRNCVTLG)You must have object management, operational and add authority to the log file that is accessed by the Conversion Aid.
