Converting programs

[Pascal Bellerose <pascal.bellerose@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone !

    Here's the problem : I have an application running on an AS400e using
RPG400, CL, CMD programs which are using DSPF and PRTF.  Now my boss wants
the whole application to be cross-platform.  Now since I know that IBM has
increased considerably the performances of Java language on their OS400,
it's the language I planned to use for the application.

     Then my boss talked to me about some tools that would do the conversion
from RPG400 to ILE RPG then to VARPG and to VAJ.  I've been looking for this
tool at IBM's website, and their partner's too but still can't find it.

    My question is simple : Is there a way to do what I mentionned in the
preceding paragraph or is it an idea that comes directly from Utopia?

    By the way if there are suggestions on tools to use as a source code
converting agent, please send them  !!!


Hope you'll understand my problem !!

Thank you all
