The CONVERT LIBRARY command creates a copy of an existing CMS library and converts the copy for use with this version of CMS. Libraries created with CMS Version 3.0 do not need to be converted. To convert a library, you must first create an empty directory to contain the new, converted library. Conversion maintains everything in your existing library, including the reference copy directory. After the library is converted, CMS automatically executes the VERIFY/REPAIR command to ensure that any existing reference copy directory is valid and current. The CONVERT LIBRARY command causes an unusual occurrence to be logged in the history file.
