Convert Screen Programs to RPC

Convert Screen Programs to RPC

For screen-type COBOL programs on mainframe connections, select Convert to RPC in Code Viewer. Hub must be configured.

Choose Algorithm for deterministic rule-based conversion, or AI-Assisted to generate a README specification and then RPC COBOL with an AI provider. Add related screen programs for multi-step flows and resolve copybooks from datasets marked My Copybooks; mark BMS datasets My Maps to aid screen discovery.

Review the generated README in edit or preview mode before AI extraction. Generated RPC files open in new tabs. A missing BMS map produces a warning, so validate behavior before compiling or deploying.

Convert screen-driven COBOL programs into API-ready RPC COBOL services.
