IBM COBOL and CICS Command Level Conversion Aid for OS/390 & MVS & VM Version 2 Simplifies Migration

Software Announcement
June 9, 1998
Announcement Letter Number: 298-186

If you want to execute rules in a COBOL application, you must develop your business rule application with COBOL structures as the reference point for your object model. The following tables outline special considerations when you choose zRule Execution Server for z/OS® as an execution option. I want to download a free cobol compiler for windows 10 that works. Any suggestions? Hi Brutis4246, 'I want to download a free cobol compiler for windows 10 that works. Any suggestions?' If you want to compiler COBOL on Windows, you could download and use GnuCOBOL (formerly OpenCOBOL). You also could study COBOL and write COBOL code online. Because artifacts generated by the Enterprise Service Tools wizard (the WSDL file, the correlator file, and either PL/I include file or the COBOL copybook file containing the Web service driver and the runtime XML conversion programs) must be transferred to a z/OS® system, you can use the z/OS Projects perspective and a Local Project in Developer for z Systems® to assist with this task.

CCCA for OS/390 & MVS & VM Version 2 can:

  • Simplify and shorten the COBOL migration process.
  • Ease the upgrade to new COBOL technology.
  • Convert old COBOL source code and copy modules to new versions of COBOL.
  • Convert COBOL applications to use the Millennium Language Extensions.


Overview

COBOL migration is easier than you think with the new Version 2 ofIBM COBOL and CICS (R) Command Level Conversion Aid (CCCA) for OS/390(TM) & MVS (TM) & VM.

CCCA for OS/390 & MVS & VM Version 2, now a program product, isdesigned to help you convert old COBOL source code and copy modulesto new versions of COBOL. Also new in Version 2 is the capability toconvert your COBOL applications to use the new IBM MillenniumLanguage Extensions.

CCCA can shorten and simplify the COBOL migration process, easing theupgrade to new COBOL technology. This is accomplished by:

  • Automating the identification and conversion of source code.
  • Reducing the effort to convert programs.
  • Minimizing conversion errors.


Intended Customers

COBOL developers


Key Prerequisites

Unless otherwise announced by IBM, CCCA for OS/390 & MVS & VMVersion 2 runs under the control of, or in conjunction with, therequired IBM licensed programs and their subsequent releases or theirequivalents listed in the Software Requirements section.


Planned Availability Dates

  • On OS/390 and MVS/ESA -- June 12, 1998
  • On VM/ESA -- Third Quarter 1998

DESCRIPTION

Migrating to New Versions of COBOL: CCCA for OS/390 & MVS & VMVersion 2 converts OS/VS COBOL, DOS/VS COBOL, and ANSI 74 Standard VSCOBOL II source code to ANSI 85 Standard VS COBOL II, IBM COBOL forMVS & VM, and IBM COBOL for OS/390 & VM. CCCA can enhance programmerproductivity during COBOL migration from old COBOL versions to newCOBOL versions by automatically converting most COBOL syntax, and bygenerating conversion management reports. By using the automatedtool, hours of manual programming are saved. Manual programmingerrors can also be reduced. Use of the conversion management reportsrecords the conversion process, thus providing a historical trace ofthe migration. You can also customize this conversion process tomeet your unique needs.

CCCA is designed to provide facilities to:

  • Convert most COBOL syntax differences from old to new versions of COBOL.
  • Convert EXEC CICS commands.
  • Remove and/or convert the base locator for linkage (BLL) section mechanism and references.
  • Eliminate conflicts between user-defined names and words reserved for new versions of COBOL.
  • Convert both source programs and copy modules.
  • Create conversion management reports.
  • Produce a statement-by-statement diagnostic listing showing the result of the conversion process for each program.
  • Perform conversion from various levels of COBOL into other COBOL levels through an open converter design.
Converting to Use the Millennium Language Extensions: The IBMMillennium Language Extensions (MLE) are an extension to the COBOLlanguage that are intended to help the year 2000 problem by utilizingthe technique of windowing two-digit date fields. This techniqueremoves the common assumption in many programs that all two-digityear fields with values from 0 to 99 represent years from 1900 to1999. For example, if a two-digit date field contains the value'17', many current systems would interpret the year as 1917. Thewindowing technique simply moves the window from 0 to 99 (implying1900 to 1999) to another set of values, like 60 to 59 (implying 1960to 2059). With this window, the value '17' would be interpreted asthe year 2017.

MLE has been implemented for use with IBM COBOL for OS/390 & VM viathe product IBM VisualAge (R) COBOL Millennium Language Extensionsfor OS/390 & VM. For more information about VisualAge COBOLMillennium Language Extensions for OS/390 & VM, refer to SoftwareAnnouncement298-105 dated April 7, 1998. MLE has been implemented for use with IBMCOBOL for MVS & VM via the product IBM VisualAge COBOL MillenniumLanguage Extensions for MVS & VM. For more information aboutVisualAge COBOL Millennium Language Extensions for MVS & VM, refer toSoftware Announcement298-098 dated April 7, 1998.

CCCA for OS/390 & MVS & VM Version 2 supports conversion of COBOLapplications to use MLE. CCCA will automatically add the MLE DATEFORMAT clause to the data description entries for date items(specified to CCCA in a date identification file) within the programto be converted.

Other Enhancements: Version 2 also provides the followingenhancements:

  • Support for DBCS literals and DBCS user-defined words
  • Support for hexadecimal nonnumeric literals
  • Improved tokenization of COBOL words and literals continued over multiple lines
  • Improved tokenization of numeric literals
  • Improved nonnumeric literal delimiter determination


Year 2000

This product is Year 2000 ready. When used in accordance with itsassociated documentation, it is capable of correctly processing,providing, and/or receiving date data within and between the 20th and21st centuries, provided all other products (for example, software,hardware, and firmware) used with the product properly exchangeaccurate date data with it.


PRODUCT POSITIONING

As your business navigates through the Year 2000, IBM can provide youwith an approach that will help you get there with confidence.Called VisualAge 2000, this offering comprises an end-to-end range ofproducts, services, methods, education, and strategies all designedto help make your transition to the next century smooth andsuccessful.

Many steps are necessary to resolve your Year 2000 issues. You canuse tools in VisualAge 2000 to let your systems resources, not yourhuman resources, do much of the work.

The VisualAge 2000 MLE Solution provides a means to help find and fixYear 2000 problems in your applications. This is done in threesteps:

  • For each application, you will need to identify your potential date fields. This can be done using your choice of date finding tools, such as the Program Understanding Year 2000 Analysis Tool of IBM VisualAge COBOL Enterprise or the analysis function of IBM Maintenance 2000. For more information on IBM VisualAge COBOL Enterprise, refer to Software Announcement298-099 dated April 7, 1998. For more information on IBM Maintenance 2000, refer to Software Announcement298-079 dated March 10, 1998.
  • Once date fields are identified, CCCA can be used to add the new MLE DATE FORMAT clause to your data definitions.
  • Once the data definitions are updated, the IBM COBOL compiler in conjunction with the IBM VisualAge COBOL Millennium Language Extensions then automatically performs windowing in the logic of your application. This helps you achieve a faster conversion by eliminating the need to manually add logic for each occurrence of date variables within each application. Additionally, if you plan to expand your date fields for your long-term Year 2000 solution, MLE offers you the flexibility to use a mixture of windowed and expanded dates, thus extending the useful life of your applications.
VisualAge 2000 can help your company navigate through the newmillennium with confidence. The VisualAge 2000 applicationdevelopment tools can also help enable you to re-energize existingapplications, without sacrificing new development projects, allowingyou to move forward into the twenty-first century and beyond.
