The tape must contain the entire libraries −copied from the AS/400− so that once moved to another AS/400, the application can be compiled and executed without any problems. To ensure identical behavior, it is necessary to have an environment of execution in the AS/400 that includes data and compiled programs.
It must contain all the archives of the RPG, PRTF, DSPF, PF, and LF types that need to be translated.
Objects of the DTAARA, QRY, and MSGF types must all be included for translation.
Supported versions of RPG are:
RPG II
RPG III
RPG/400
RPG ILE
If you use a data repository referred to in the sources data description, please include it as well.
If possible, make sure that your source code group is autonomous and that it compiles correctly by itself.
TransTOOLs guarantees confidentiality of all the information received from it's customers.
When possible, please use 4GB tapes with a data cartridge of ¼ of an inch (we recommend QIC-2GB.)
Use the following parameters in the command SAVLIB, to copy the tape:
| SAVLIB Parameter | Value |
| "Label" | *LIB |
| "Option: End of Tape" | *REWIND |
| "Destination release" | OS version V5R1M0 or lower |
| "Save access" | *YES |
| "Data Compression" | *NO |
| "Data Compaction" | *NO |
| "Exit" | |
| "Type of exit information" | *OBJ |
The tape must include a listing of its content, using the command DSPTAP with the following parameters:
| DSPTAP Parameter | Value |
| "Data Type " | *SAVRST |
| "Exit" |
We need to have the information about the different entry points into the applications to be able to test them, as well as the user who will be using them. Example:
| User | Start Program |
| CARUSR1 | BIB1/PGM1 |
Please provide as much documentation as you can to run the first tests of the application once it is translated; and, also, indicate the relationship of the critical routes, so that they can be verified.
