I have a hard time imagining how FileAid or SORT could replace much of our EZT - except for our moderately simple reporting jobs. That is not a knock against any of those products. There is one product (IBM Migration Utility) that claims to support EZT, meaning it can convert EZT to COBOL on the fly and you can continue to code using EZT syntax if you wish. YRMV. Alternative "4GL" products and conventional languages (COBOL, ASM, C, etc) would be options as well.
