Dumb question perhaps, but do you have the Enterprise COBOL Migration Guide? Latest version is here:
http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/igy3mg40.pdf There are migration tools of course. Two commercial ones that I know about are Edge Portfolio Analyzer (from Edge Information Group, and via IBM as program number 5620-AZM) and the COBOL Conversion Aid, now part of IBM Debug Tool Utilities & Advanced Functions. The former is primarly for assessment, and the latter is primarily for actual conversion. (You buy these tools only if they provide net cost and/or risk mitigation benefits.) And there's the free Load Module Analyzer here: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24010925 Don Fowler wrote a good technical article on this subject here: http://www.mardon-y2k.com/Is%20There%20Still%20OS.htm with some more information, including a sample estimation spreadsheet which you can modify for your own use. This is a very well-worn migration path, and there's a lot of help and experience from which to draw. Please also be sure to browse the CICS-L mailing list archives if you haven't already and ask for more information there, too, if you need it. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
