Converting All Members in a File

You can convert all of the members in a source physical file by specifying FROMMBR(*ALL) and TOMBR(*FROMMBR) on the CVTRPGSRC command. The Conversion Aid will attempt to convert all members in the file specified. If one member should fail to convert, the conversion process will still continue.

For example, if you want to convert all source members in the file QRPGSRC to the file QRPGLESRC, you would enter:

CVTRPGSRC  FROMFILE(OLDRPG/QRPGSRC)
           FROMMBR(*ALL)
           TOFILE(NEWRPG/QRPGLESRC)
           TOMBR(*FROMMBR)

This command converts all of the source members in library OLDRPG in the source physical file QRPGSRC. The new members are created in library NEWRPG in the source physical file QRPGLESRC.

If you prefer to keep all source (DDS source, RPG source, etc.) in the same file, you can still convert the RPG source members in one step, by specifying FROMMBR(*ALL). The Conversion Aid will only convert members with a valid RPG type (see Table 57).
