SoftwareMining's COBOL-to-Java and COBOL-to-C# Converter supports the migration of HPE NonStop, formerly Tandem, COBOL applications to maintainable Java or C# source code. Automated, non-AI, rule-based conversion operates within the customer's own infrastructure.
The converter handles supported COBOL business logic, database access, transaction processing, inter-process communication, screen handling, date and time representations, and HPE NonStop-specific language features and APIs.
HPE NonStop screen definitions and associated conversational processing can be converted into JSP or ASP.NET web-interface components. The initial browser interface can preserve the fields and interaction flow of the original screens and later be enhanced with a modern design.
HPE NonStop applications may use TAL routines for timestamp creation, conversion and interpretation, including:
ENTER TAL "JULIANTIMESTAMP"
ENTER TAL "CONVERTTIMESTAMP"
ENTER TAL "INTERPRETTIMESTAMP"
SoftwareMining maps supported operations to Java or C# date APIs and runtime functions while accounting for the original representation, precision, epoch and formatting rules.
Embedded SQL statements and their host variables are converted into Java or C# database-access operations. Database-specific SQL can be isolated where required to support future database migration. See COBOL DB2 and embedded SQL conversion .
