RPG / DSPF migration

Convert RPGLE screen programs with DSPF maps, and RPGLE RPC modules, into runnable legacy code on the JVM through OL Next kits—maps, not 5250 emulation.

OL Next converts IBM i RPGLE applications into runnable legacy code on the JVM. Screen programs use the rpgle-dspf kit (.rpgle + .dspf maps); exported-procedure modules use rpgle-rpc. Import sources, generate, then play DSPF map programs or invoke RPC procedures in the console—not 5250 terminal emulation. Legacy teams keep editing the RPGLE in OL Next; the program runs off the host. For data, use an H2 sandbox (schema.sql / seed.sql), live DB400 via JDBC, or a modern DB after data migration—see DB access management.
