Martin,
RDI uses the command CVTRPGSRC. Which does not update the D-specs.
You normally have to use a third party tool. I love Help-Systems RPG Toolbox, which I have been using for over 22-years! :)

There is an open source version, which is FREE by JCR:
http://www.jcrcmds.com/jcrdown2.html#JCR5FREE_tag
This utility will take v4 source that has been PURPOSELY written to convert into free format, then convert the calc specs into that format.
I would strongly recommend getting the JCRFREESS utility and print a listing of what will not convert. Then fix that in the original program before using this utility. The document A Path to /Free on the main page should be considered required reading before using this utility.
Another FREE one:
