GenerOL to AS/400 COBOL - GenerOL to CICS

What we do with the GENER/OL program…

  • Converts the online programs into fully structured CICS COBOL programs.

  • Both conversational and pseudo conversational program structures are supported.

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

  • COBOL data-names generated by the utility are extensions of existing field-names found in the program.

  • Any additional working storage areas needed for screen buffer areas, record areas, work areas, and all necessary CICS areas are automatically inserted.

  • Wherever necessary all CICS handle conditions are automatically inserted.

  • All copybooks are converted and retain the same identity.

    What about the map definition and I/O …

  • Each screen definition is converted to BMS map source code and a COBOL copybook will be generated to reflect the structure of the BMS buffer.

  • GENER/OL screen field attributes and cursor feedback and positioning are converted to CICS attribute handling.

  • PF key feedback is maintained though the corresponding EIBAID value.

  • The migration tool replaces all map related statements with the equivalent CICS commands (MAP gets converted to EXEC CICS SEND MAP or EXEC CICS RECEIVE MAP).

    And special GENER/OL functions …

  • Navigation and program-to-program communication throughout the application is maintained. CICS Communication Area gets inserted into the linkage section.

  • The DO WHILE structures are replaced with PERFORM UNTIL structures.

  • GENER/OL commands and verbs are replaced with the appropriate CICS commands or COBOL statements.
