Don:  There are various ways to 'mass' convert source code like this and it
sounds like you now have a plan to follow using MPEX REPEAT.  Something that
I have found when doing lots of this kind of work is that building one big
compile/link jobstream usually turns out to be well worth the small
investment of time.

The traps that you can run into are that one source code file might need
slightly different syntax in say the link stage of the process.  Another
problem that I've run into is not having all the source code 'ready' to go at
the same time.  Sometimes you need to sortof skip over some code that has
some problem.  Being able to take a standard jobstream that is designed to
compile and link all code for an application and then cutting and pasting to
get a workable version of this jobstream has been very helpfull for me.

Some of this depends upon an application's naming conventions or potential
lack thereof.  If source code file XX123S results in object code file YY456P,
the MPEX utility can't do a complete job and you will be forced to create at
least a partial compile/link jobstream line by line.
