There is an application running on S390 written in COBOL using IMS Database. This application could handle several millions of records.
I am looking around to see if this could be ported to a smaller platform to handle several thousands of records at a reduced cost. Is it doable if I chose to go with Linux? What are all the COBOL compilers available for Linux? Are there any IMS database clones available for Linux? Thanks, Samy Rengasamy.
