Language Conversions

Is DYL Costing You More Than It’s Worth?

Making wise budget decisions is desirable in any economy. When you consider software license costs, support costs, the expense of securing DYL programming expertise, plus the many other costs associated with third party products, you should think seriously about consolidating languages by converting your DYL-280® (CA Advantage™ VISION: Results™) to another language such as COBOL.

Consider The Savings & Benefits:

  • Reduce your software license costs
  • Reduce your support costs
  • Reduce your dependence on a third party product
  • Reduce your need for DYL programming expertise
  • Reduce your exposure to mainframe “lock-in”

Datatek’s quick, cost-effective conversion process converts DYL source code to a target language of your choice. The resulting converted code is well structured, maintainable, and is customized to meet the standards of your programming environment.
