The LE conversion guide show you how to rebind the programs without
recompilation. In essence, map the program, code REPLACE statements for
all of the runtime CSECTs, and rebind using the LE link library. 

That said, getting back to source and recompiled is the way to go, IMHO.

Subject: No Source for load modules not linkedited since 1980-90's

We have a large number of modules that have link dates in the 80's and
90's
(still running, can that be done on windows and Unix platform?).  We
want to
reverse the modules to be able to go to LE and maybe even make changes.

Does any one know of any vendors and/or products on the market that can
be
used to reverse engineer these modules - in COBOL.

I have suggested the disassembler but the development people were not
happy
with the output, Cobol people do not like assembler, go figure:-) they
are
not assembler programmers and the disassembled code was unreadable to
them.

Thank you.

Regards, 
Herman Stocker
