What we do with the DATA GENERAL program…
  • Automatically converts DATA GENERAL COBOL to native AS/400 COBOL.

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

  • All field and file names become extensions of the original DATA GENERAL field and file names.

  • All copybooks are converted and retain the same identity.

    What about the map definition and I/O …

  • The tool automatically extracts the DG "Screen Section" from the program and generates the correct Working Storage Variables.

  • Creates both "Display" and "Accept" paragraphs for the "Screen Section" entries.

  • DG "Display/Accept" statement is converted to "Perform" statements.

  • The following "Display" keywords are supported on the AS/400: LINE, COL, BELL, BLANK (Line/Screen), BLINK, HIGHLIGHT, REVERSE-VIDEO, UNDERLINE.

  • The following "Accept" keywords are supported: LINE, COL, AUTO, BELL/BEEP, BLINK, FULL (Length-Check), HIGHLIGHT, REQUIRED, REVERSE-VIDEO, SECURE (No-Echo), UNDERLINE, RIGHT-JUSTIFY, SPACE-FILL, TRAILING-SIGN, UPDATE, ZERO-FILL.

  • Code is inserted to handle PF keys on the AS/400.

    And special DATA GENERAL functions …

  • All DATA GENERAL user subs are converted to subroutines on the AS/400.

  • Navigation and program-to-program communication throughout the application is maintained.
