RPG400 /copy files

[johnstagliano]

@chrjorgensen and @sebjulliand, I am include the 2 of you because you both responded to my last post about RPG400 programs. I appreciate your responses and now that I can compile RPG400 programs in vs code using TOBi, I am onto my next challenge in this migration planning.

---

My goal is to migrate all source code to vscode and git, deploy to the ifs, and use TOBi to build the applications.

I am currently trying to figure out how to handle /copy statements in RPG400 programs.

If I am correct...

• RPG400 /copy files must be located in source file / members.
• TOBi does not copy the copy files for a RPG program from the ifs to the library.

Considering this, I am trying to figure out how those copy books can be included in git, deployed to the ifs, and copied to the library/sourcefile. I know I could use cpyfrmstmf to copy them up, but, I am not sure if that can be done through TOBi.

Or, is it just better to make the decision that every RPG400 program migrated to VS Code and git will be converted to ILE? That is a future goal, I was just trying to do the migration in smaller steps.

Does anyone have any experience with migrating RPG400 (including Copy Books) to git?

Any response will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
