33.2.5.1 CA-Convertor
CA-Convertor is a comprehensive system to manage and implement the
conversion from VSE to MVS operating systems. CA-Convertor converts VSE
COBOL and Assembler language programs and VSE JCL to true MVS programs
and JCL, while automatically creating applicable documentation. It performs the
burdensome conversion tasks that, under manual control, would be error-prone,
tedious and repetitious. With CA-Convertor, the entire process is automated,
eliminating redundant data manipulation and unnecessary manual procedures.
Programmer productivity levels are not affected by constantly monitoring the
conversion and, as CA-Convertor can execute on both VSE and MVS, you can
start the conversion without requiring a production MVS environment.
Available for: MVS, VSE
33.2.5.2 CA-DUO
CA-DUO is VSE under MVS transition system software designed to simplify the
conversion from the IBM VSE environment to MVS. CA-DUO provides the
interface that allows existing VSE application programs to run directly under
MVS without source program alterations. This unique approach conserves
considerable data center resources, and facilitates a true MVS production
environment in the least possible time.
CA-DUO allows all MVS facilities and most VSE facilities to be utilized. It uses
standard MVS JCL, which may be generated by CA-Convertor. CA-DUO supports
the following programming languages, access methods and data management
system: Assembler, COBOL, FORTRAN, PL/I, RPG, RPG-II, DAM, ISAM, VSAM,
EXCP, QSAM, BSAM, BISAM, QISAM, DL/I, BOMP, DBOMP, TOTAL,
ADABAS/DB, CA-IDMS/DB and CA-Datacom/DB.
Available for: MVS
33.2.6 The Source Recovery Company
The Source Recovery Company recovers missing COBOL or Assembler source
code from MVS, VM or VSE executable modules.
The recovered source is guaranteed to produce an executable module that is
100% functionally equivalent to the original executable module that you send
them.
The Source Recovery Company can help save a great deal of time, effort, cost
and minimize your overall Year 2000 and conversion project risk. You can avoid
an expensive rewrite of a program, or even more expensive replacement of an
application.
