<snip> The languages that probably should be supported are C/C++, COBOL, FORTRAN, Java, and PL/1. </snip>
The train for z/OS-provided Fortran, Cobol, and PL/I mappings left long ago. I see no realistic possibility that such mappings will be provided in the future. <snip> XLC already provides a DSECT to struct conversion tool. I haven't found its output to be as awful as it once was. </snip> In my opinion, it is just as awful as it always was, unless you like having no comments. And it is impossible for the tool to do a good job because the assembler cannot in various cases be reverse-engineered to appropriate C constructs without the "I know what you were trying to do" psychic ability. This is why the mappings to be provided by z/OS are not derived from the assembler.
