Different vendor, but I just saw a similar project, budgeted at €2mio and 1.5 years elapsed, scrapped after only €5mio spent over a period of 2.5 years. Problem was (amongst others...) the architectural change: In your mainframe, CICS and DB2 live right next to each-other, talking through X-memory calls, so doing 1750 SQL statements in one CICS transaction isn't an issue. Put a network (even if it is just a loopback adapter...) in between you Java application server and your MS SQL Server, then do the maths... Nowhere near the sub-second response time that is required to make the application viable... O, and that converted code is just as maintainable as the pseudo-assembler code the LIST option of your average COBOL compiler gives you.
