Re: CL to OCL cross-reference

[Al Barsa <barsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is a product called Target/400 that is primarily designed to bring
S/36 applications written in RPG II and OCL into RPG III and CL.  It was
written by a brilliant guy our of England named John Caine.

One of the ancillary features of the tool (which I haven't used in over 10
years) is that it has an OCL to CL converter for example purposes.

I recall that John had feared that OCL to CL was going to be the toughest
part of that job, and that turned out (IMHO) to be wrong.  There were so
many funky things that were still supported on the 36 in RPG II that came
from System/3 Model 6 and System 32, that RPG II to III turned out to be
tougher.

I know of one customer that bought it last month, so it's still supported!

I saw that others have responded to your  request for CL to OCL
cross-references.  Years ago a couple of excellent books were published on
the topic of OCL to CL cross-references.

These books were exceptionally valuable to those of us who came from the
System/36.

As I recall, there were a couple things from the System/36 that had no
equivalent in the 400 environment
