You should also drop an email to Armen Grigorian <[email protected]> at Mergilent Pty Ltd.
He and his company specialise in converting less common mainframe database applications to a mainstream database product (commonly DB2). His company's sausage machine works at the source code level (perhaps like everyone else's). The difference is you get a great looking sausage out the other end (highly maintainable COBOL+DB2 for example), not a mangled one. Good luck finding a conversion solution, David _______________________________________ From: Mitch Mccluhan <[email protected]> To: IBM-MAIN <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, 31 Oct 2015 10:00:03 -0400 Subject: Re: Conversion from SAG Adabas and Natural to something else ...drop me an email.

Perhaps that's true at this moment, but what goals are you hoping to achieve? In particular, if there are few or no business benefits associated with the "to be" state then it's at least harder to make your business case work. I recommend answering that question first. ------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM z Systems, AP/GCG/MEA E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
