Re: RPG/400 to COBOL(Mainframe) Converter -- RPG400-L

Good News Everybody!

The new search engine is LIVE!

Please report any problems to david (at) midrange.com.

You said "COBOL (Mainframe)" but you did not specify what the target environment (operating system) is -- MVS, VM, VSE, z/OS, z/VM, z/VSE? And what release of the OS? And which mainframe COBOL compiler version/release, etc.?

Also, you are proposing moving from essentially a 4GL (RPG) to a 3GL (COBOL).

This might be possible for batch report programs in RPG, but I have serious doubts about trying to convert interactive applications written in RPG, because there are likely many other "components" such as DDS-based display files, that would also need to be "converted" (but to what?) Also, many RPG applications call various OS/400 APIs, etc., for which there are no direct equivalents. And, there is NO equivalent to "subfiles" on any IBM mainframe operating systems (not even in CICS). :-o
