Resolving The Problem

While there is a function to convert the old PC5250 client macros to the new macro format in IBM i Access Client Solutions (ACS), the conversion will fail if you have manually added your own edits to the macro in PC5250. If you have done anything besides a basic screen record to create your macro in PC5250, it will not convert using the ACS macro conversion utility. This means you must rewrite and customize scripts you have created.

An example of the new Host On-Demand Macro Programming is available at the following URL:
