101.0. "Databus ---> COBOL " by DLO02::SWS () Fri Aug 29 1986 15:46


I'm seeking information on automated tools that could be used in
a Databus ---> VAX COBOL conversion. Any pertinent comments
from those experienced with such a conversion would be .....

101.1to convert - rewrite?CSSE32::PHILPOTTCSSE/Lang. & Tools, ZK02-1/N71Tue Sep 02 1986 12:2513
    Having programmed in Databus a goodly few years ago, I wish you
    luck :-)
    
    Actually from my memory I would guess that a conversion to Dibol
    might be easier...
    
    Anyway, as an off the wall suggestion, the COBOL GENERATOR will
    be available shortly (October?), ... have you considered using the
    generator to re-write the application? I say this because I believe
    that an automatic translation of Databus to anything will tend to
    produce somewhat inefficient code.

A DATABUS to COBOL converter has recently been developed in Australia and used
successfully on a large site. It was developed in Queensland and is being 
marketed around Australia by WILMA SPEIRS who can be contacted on SNOV17::.
