BULL GCOS Screens DefinitionThe set of control characters required to display a screens on a Terminal is encoded in variables within the Programs. The control characters are typically not human-legible, and their inclusion in COBOL programs can make the application less maintainable. SoftwareMining tools can translate the Control Characters to a more human readable XML , JSP or ASP files. |

IDS/2 Database and API, VSAM FilesBULL COBOL programs typically utilise the IDS-2 database system and API. IDS-2 is a CODASYL designs, which support Master-Child type relationships. SoftwareMining Converter can use the exported IDS-2 schemas (or COBOL program listings) to regenerate the database as a Relational Database. The Master-Child relationships are converted to "foreign-key" relationships. The system will also generate Object-Relational data access classes for each of the tables. These classes will continue to represent the Master-Child relationships as associations in Object-Oriented classes. The following diagram outlines the artefacts generated from translation of DBMS32 tables ![]() The API simplifies database access thru GET, STORE, UPDATE, MODIFY, FIND, ERASE type statements. |
