SMF/CMF are least of our concern at the moment. We are initially inclined for 
any automated tool that can
A.read SAS PDBs and convert them to DB2 tables and/or flat file. Tool must 
cater take for packed, COMP data elements.
B. Can read SAS code and give us some basic converted Java code
C. Will be good if the tool can convert DB2I calls to JDBC calls

I can see another of these 2-year/USD2mio projects coming, that, after 5 years 
and USD 12mio gets washed down the drain...

Indeed! But Andrew Rowley made the suggestion of picking the low hanging fruit, the most CPU intensive SAS programs. A incremental project that reduced MSU usage by rewriting high cost SAS programs in Java would save money and reduce risk. That's a very good idea. Only recently somebody suggested the same but for COBOL programs. If you have zIIP processors and they're not maxed out your wasting your money.

Sorry if I sound negative,

Jantje.
