Agreed apart from "the means". The original topic: "Does anyone know if this product, Automatic Binary Optimizer, will actually migrate Cobol V4 to V6 for you? Our IBM reps are telling us that it will actually do the migration for you."
100 different people contacting the "ABO Team" is also an "outdated" way to do it. The ABO Team (probably) has no experience of "existing testing requirements for large systems" and on the other side of that hill, there is no/little information about *why* it is probably possible for ABO testing to be "different", and how to go about arguing for that. With some more detailed knowledge of ABO first, a much more effective interaction can be expected. If ABO is to become what it seems it is expected to become (by IBM), a significant tool expected to provide "hardware exploitation" to the majority of programs which not be recompiled in the foreseeable future, that can't happen in an information vacuum about the product. It is early days with ABO, but what better time to start everything than "early" (and earlier than this)? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
