FAQ

General Information

ARCAD Transformer RPG is a tool that automates the conversion of RPG IV (RPGLE) code to RPG Free Form.  This conversion helps to modernize your IBM i applications and simplify their maintenance.

Unlike COBOL, RPG has continuously evolved with the IBM i platform. In its Free Form version, it offers a modern syntax similar to Java, easy to learn and ideal for young developers. More readable and maintainable, it boosts productivity by up to 50% and supports microservices, ensuring the longevity of IBM i applications.

ARCAD Transformer supports the conversion of columnar RPG IV and automatically converts 100% of the code to RPG Free Form, including calculation specifications (C), declaration specifications (H, F, D, P), and even GOTO statements. It detects truncation contexts and automatically corrects the code to prevent runtime anomalies.

Key Features

Yes, ARCAD Transformer RPG automates code conversion with a success rate close to 100%, including both single and bulk conversions.

Yes, ARCAD provides a visual comparison between the original RPG IV code and the converted RPG Free Form code to ease the transition.

ARCAD Transformer RPG is compatible with IBM i 7.1 TR7 and later versions, ensuring complete modernization.

Benefits

Converting to RPG Free Form reduces complexity, improves readability, and accelerates the onboarding of new developers. It allows up to a 50% improvement in productivity.
