SMF/CMF are least of our concern at the moment. We are initially inclined for

B. Can read SAS code and give us some basic converted Java code
C. Will be good if the tool can convert DB2I calls to JDBC calls
I suspect the best tool for converting SAS databases to other formats
might be SAS itself. I assume it has interfaces to other types of database.
My initial thought on converting the code was that SAS code would be too
different to Java, and you would have to work out the specs and rewrite.
However, I googled "convert sas to java" and there seem to be a number
of services and/or products claiming to do it.
I do think the generated code might be less than optimal, and you would
miss out on a lot of the benefits of Java. Rewriting at least the most
resource intensive programs might be worth doing.
