If all of the true source in the shop is in EGL and languages other than COBOL, using Java would allow elimination of the licenses for COBOL and runtimes. If everything online is in EGL then it might be possible to move from CICS to Websphere. Since EGL is descended from CSP (Cross System Product I think) and CSP version 4 generated horrific COBOL code this is an open ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
