UNISYS MCP and Burroughs COBOL to Java / C# Conversion

UNISYSs dialect of COBOL is fairly close to ANSI COBOL 74/85 Standards.
The main differences is the extensions to COBOL language, Screens definitions, use of DBMS , DMS Database and API.

DMS, DMS-II, or DMS-2000

Unisys COBOL programs typically utilise DMS, DMS-II, or DMS-2000 database system and API.

The first step in SoftwareMining's migration process is for the translator to parse the DMS database schemas, and generate COBOL copybooks representing Data-Sets. These copybooks will used by the COBOL to Java/C# Converter to produce:
  • SQL Schema The new tables will contain the same fields as those defined in the Schemas
  • Object-Relational Data-Access-Objects (DAO) the translated programs will access the SQL table via these DAO classes
For example, a record called INVOICE-RECORD will be converted to SQL Table INVOICE_TABLE (containing all the fields defined in the Cobol structure), and Object Relational class InvoiceClass which manages all database communication between the translated application and database.
The API simplifies database access thru CREATE, STORE, LOCK, FIND, SELECT type statements.

Additional UNISYS API will be supported by a SoftwareMining libraries.
