What is the mean of PRFILE conversion
If the two packages property are vary widely, we need to do conversion when
updating package. Only doing conversion, the parameters value can be inherited

The program of PRFILE conversion is PRFCNVGX. PRFCNVGX is only deal
with PRFILE conversion, if the parameter is defined in FIFILE, its conversion is
deal by FIFCNVGX.
If the parameter are all with convertibility in source and destination package,
PRFCNVGX will deal with it. Otherwise when doing conversion, the parameter
will be skipped.
The struct of PRFILE: PRFILGX.IMG is divided into many record which record
contains 15 parameters value and one class number. Class number is in the
head of record. Total of one record is 32 bytes. Only by understanding of its
structure can you understand the code of PRFCNVGX.
After each conversion, the whole converted parameters will be printed.

 Code flow of PRFCNVGX
1 Read the contents of the four files(PRFILE and PRBFILE in source and destination package) into a global variable
2 Check whether the conversion of S16.1 to S16.2 . If the conversion is in this special platform, code will enter in a branch
which is deal with that. If the conversion is not in the special platform, the code will search the record of source and
destination PRFILE one by one. If the parameter are all with convertibility in source and destination package, PRFCNVGX
will deal with it. Otherwise when doing conversion, the parameter will be skipped. (Checking the changeability of
parameter will use the PRBFILE in source and destination package.)
3 After conversion, code will load the content of PRFILE in destination package to disk.
