Well ..., if somebody really wanted to do this, then I'd really recommend the CobolRecordGenerator that comes with z/OS Java SDK (written by the geniuses at Dovetailed Technologies - yes, I'm impressed). Compile your COBOL with ADATA. Use the aforementioned program to read the ADATA and create a Java class with get and set methods to access the fields defined in your COBOL program. I've used the AssemblerRecordGenerator to generate 433 Java classes to access 76 different SMF records. It was a bit confusing to this Java novice to learn how to properly use this, but it works for me. ________________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Scott [sc...@aitrus.org] Sent: Monday, November 30, 2009 11:30 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: Now is time for banks to replace core system according to Accenture
With a cheaper job market, now is the time to hire hands to go through your massive libraries of copy-and-paste COBOL and begin some initial design/development of Java libraries.
