I read it, that the OP wants to eliminate SAS license cost, by eliminating SAS
at all.
I agree with Jantje: how do you rewrite PROCs MEANS, UNIVARIATE, GPLOT, GCHART
etc. with all their parameters to Java reliantly and still make the project
cost effective. A WPS project has a much greater chance.
If the WPS license fee is significantly less then I agree. SAS burns CPU
cycles and cherry picking the worst offenders and rewriting in Java
could in the interim lower the MSU charges which saves money. Like I
said, do an incremental, phased project not a big bang.

SMF/CMF are least of our concern at the moment. We are initially
inclined for any automated tool that can
A.read SAS PDBs and convert them to DB2 tables and/or flat file. Tool
must cater take for packed, COMP data elements.
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 can see another of these 2-year/USD2mio projects coming, that, after
5 years and USD 12mio gets washed down the drain...
Indeed! But Andrew Rowley made the suggestion of picking the low hanging
fruit, the most CPU intensive SAS programs. A incremental project that
reduced MSU usage by rewriting high cost SAS programs in Java would save
money and reduce risk. That's a very good idea. Only recently somebody
suggested the same but for COBOL programs. If you have zIIP processors
and they're not maxed out your wasting your money.
Sorry if I sound negative,
Jantje.
