The obvious answer is "It can handle the COBOL way of data structures, but using COBOL as an INTERMEDIATE means allows us to complete the .NET transition a whole lot faster. That way at the end of the process we'll have a true .NET with no COBOL version to carry us into the 22nd century, but we'll also have a present WORKING .NET version until then". <html><body><center><hr><b><font face=arial size=2>Visit the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange's Website<a href=http://www.tase.co.il> www.tase.co.il</a></b></body></html> =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentorĀ® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
