The LE conversion guide show you how to rebind the programs without recompilation. In essence, map the program, code REPLACE statements for all of the runtime CSECTs, and rebind using the LE link library.
That said, getting back to source and recompiled is the way to go, IMHO. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stocker, Herman Sent: Friday, October 10, 2008 10:50 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: No Source for load modules not linkedited since 1980-90's We have a large number of modules that have link dates in the 80's and 90's (still running, can that be done on windows and Unix platform?). We want to reverse the modules to be able to go to LE and maybe even make changes. Does any one know of any vendors and/or products on the market that can be used to reverse engineer these modules - in COBOL. I have suggested the disassembler but the development people were not happy with the output, Cobol people do not like assembler, go figure:-) they are not assembler programmers and the disassembled code was unreadable to them.
