In the past, many commercial applications were written in Assembly language. Nowadays, due to the dwindling number of experienced Assembly language programmers, businesses are looking for ways to transition away from the use of the Assembler language, and yet retain the tremendous investment they have made in their Assembler code base.
BluePhoenix’s Assembler to COBOL migration solution transforms Assembler programs to functionally equivalent COBOL programs.
Business Benefits
- Reduces maintenance costs
- Makes application enhancement easier
- Provides cost effective migration
- Eliminates the IT resources problem
- Enables using the existing and proven logic and investment, and modifying the application according to business needs
- Uses proven, automated tools, thereby mitigating many of the project risks
BluePhoenix’s Assembler to COBOL migration solution maps each Assembler instruction to a corresponding fragment of COBOL code.
Registers, flags, and storage are mapped to COBOL variables that together simulate the original architecture. The functionality of the original Assembler program is completely preserved during the Assembler to COBOL conversion.
