COBOL is a highly structured language that is widely used in
business environments. Many companies depend on their COBOL
applications and want to retain their original programming
investment, but need to switch COBOL vendors. Other companies
want to modernize their applications by converting their COBOL
programs to other, more modern languages while retaining
business logic. In both cases, Datatek has the solution.
A
company can use
Datatek's automated COBOL conversion service to convert its
COBOL code to another
programming language that has a larger pool of developer
support. The COBOL code can also be converted to another
vendor's COBOL product, in order to gain new features/functionality.
Alternatively, a
company
can choose the option of using
Datatek's automated programming services to make customized
extractions of the business logic from the existing code for use in its migration
solution.
Datatek's automated
COBOL code conversion services make use
of Datatek-developed tools, which process and analyze source files
like a compiler. Source files are processed and
modified as entire files and in conjunction with other related
source files.
The following is just a brief list of some of the COBOL functionality
that is supported
by Datatek's conversion services:
File handling (i.e. line sequential files, record varying files)
Data types
Declaratives
Perform variations
Screen handling
