Batch CMD for migrating reports 6i to 9i

Question

We are converting Oracle reports 6i to 9i(Oracle 10g) (we have approx 1000 reports to be converted).
Let me know the batch command for converting reports 6i to 9i.
Appreciate your feedback.

For what it's worth, I just had to go through the same exercise and put together a little Perl script.
#!/usr/bin/perl
# Pass the starting directory(ies) as command line arguments
# For all RDFs under the starting directory this will generate an ASCII source file (REX).
# The tool RWCONVERTER.EXE must be in the path and the SID must must be reachable. You have to populate USERNAME,
# PASSWORD, and SID
use warnings;
use diagnostics;
use File::Find;
# Default is to start in current directory and convert files to source
unless ($filetype = shift) {
$filetype = "rexfile";
if (uc($filetype) ne "REXFILE" and uc($filetype) ne "REPFILE" and uc($filetype) ne "JSPFILE") {
die "Usage: $0 [REXFILE | REPFILE | JSPFILE] <directories to recursively search>";
@ARGV = "." unless (@ARGV);
$fileext = substr( $filetype, 0, 3);
sub convert_reports {
return unless /\.rdf$/i;
(my $destFile = $_) =~ s/rdf$/$fileext/i;
my $cmd = "rwconverter stype=rdffile userid=<USERNAME>/<PASSWORD>\@<SID> " .
"source=$_ dtype=$filetype dest=$destFile batch=yes";
print "$cmd\n";
system $cmd;
find(\&convert_reports, @ARGV);
