Driver: This component reads the COBOL source program, extracts copy
members from the input source file, and executes the conversion process
according to the corresponding compiled LCPs.
The driver produces four types of output:
New COBOL source code in new source library (optional).
New COBOL copy module in new copy library (optional).
COBOL source statement diagnostic listing.
Conversion management report data.
The diagnostic listing is a statement-by-statement log showing the result of the
conversion process.
An analysis is made to ensure that user-defined names do not conflict with
words newly reserved for the new COBOL language. Where conflicts appear, a
two-character suffix is appended to the user name. This suffix can be modified by
the user.
Conversion management report programs can be executed on request to provide
the status of each converted program, and tell when it was converted, and
whether user involvement is required. A 
where-used
″ 
list of copy modules, files,
and CALL statements can also provided. These reports provide an excellent
cross reference.
