This method takes your legacy COBOL online and batch apps, and converts them directly to Open Systems COBOL (Fujitsu, MF etc) or you can even choose Java. There is no emulation involved, the converted apps run completely natively in your chosen environment, namely Windows, UNIX or Linux. The JCL is converted to scripts and the ISAM data comes over to either ISAM datasets or RDBMS depending on preferences. All the business logic is retained in the converted apps. This process also offers conversion directly to .NET, therefore instead of the screens being converted to Screen Sections, they can be converted to Winforms or Webforms. Obviously this just skips across the surface, but at least you now know another solution is out there, allowing you to jump ship from the legacy IBM/CICS world into true open systems, without major culture shock.
