What we do with the IDMS/DC program …

  • Create a structured COBOL program for each IDMS/DC program using automated tools.

  • All comments in the original code can be carried through to the migrated code.

  • Each copy IDMS is converted to a COBOL copy statement with IDMS copybooks becoming COBOL copybooks.

  • Copybooks are inserted for the SQLCA and additional working storage areas including record areas, work areas, screen buffer areas, and necessary SQL and screen I/O areas.

    What about the map definition and I/O …

  • For each ADS/O or ADSA map or menu, the Data Definition Specifications for the display file are generated and a COBOL copybook that reflects the structure of the display buffer is generated.

  • Replace all map related statements with the appropriate AS/400 display statements.

  • MODIFY MAP is replaced with a move to the screen buffer.

  • Cursor positioning is translated.

  • Maps are displayed with an AS/400 write and received with an AS/400 read.

    And what about navigation and ADSA security…

  • Navigation throughout the application is maintained.

  • A traffic cop manages program-to-program flow.

  • IDMS/DC statements for invoking the next dialogue are converted return to the traffic cop to call the next program.

  • Program to program communication is maintained.
