RE: Convert into source

Yes, quite expensive ....

Actualy I have a problem that we have object without originaly source
code... We have a job to add new field in a file that used in this program..
I think we can't do this job if we don't have source code.

Thank's for your information about this.

Agus,

There is no method to retrieve COBOL (or RPG) source from
compiled object provided with the AS400/iSeries as far as I know.

Several years ago there was a company that provided that service.
I think the cost was about $1.00 per line of source code.
This could get quite expensive if retrieving alot of source.

There could be License/intelectual rights issues involved in
reverse engineering the code.
