HTWC application conversion service toolkit map maps each Easytrieve instruction set to a corresponding fragment of COBOL code. The Eastrieve objects are mapped to COBOL variables, thus achieving a complete recreation of the Easytrieve application logic in COBOL, whilst preserving the significant investment made in the application and process development. The obtained COBOL source is properly structured, and easily readable and maintainable whilst preserving the programming logic of the EASYTRIEVE one.
All the common report's properties are supported and automatically converted into COBOL logic processes, and multi-reports programs are supported as well.
Accesses to DB2, VSAM and DL/I are supported by EZT2COB.
Why Convert?
• Dwindling number of expensive programmers
• Contribute to the consolidation of applications, thus eliminating extra overhead specific to Easytrieve
• Eliminates prohibitive Easytrieve license and maintenance costs
• Makes application enhancement easier
• Provides cost-effective migration

IBM CSP/VAG (Cross System Programming) is a fourth generation language (4GL), available on the most diffused IBM platforms, for the development and maintenance of applications. HTWC have expertise and tools for the automatic conversion of CSP applications into well structured, operational COBOL CICS, retaining fully the logic inherent within the CSP applications.
Additionally, CSP Maps are converted to BMS and CSP Records are converted to copy books.
Users of Visual Age Generator (VAG) can also benefit from the same migration process, as long as the VAG application is a 3270 based system.
The "rebuilding" step produces:
• COBOL sources & copybooks
• MS maps
• DCLGEN for RDBMS Tables
• Record descriptors for VSAM or DL/I
• ICS configuration tables
Why Convert?
• Eliminate resource consumption specific to the CSP/VAG applications (License, Maintenance, Compiler, Personnel)
• Operate applications in a homogenous, open target environment
• CSP is now out of support – any operational problems may not be resolvable.
• Migration to Visual Age Generator is expensive
• Reduction in Code lines

PL/I was developed by IBM as part of the development of System/360 in the mid 1960s – almost 50 years ago. It was mainly used for business data processing, and also for more general programming use throughout the 1970s. Today there are still many applications relying on PL/I.
Using the PL/I conversion tool we can automatically translate PL/I programs coming from IBM and UNIX environments to native COBOL II , preserving all the business logic inherent within. The conversion process is highly customizable, in order to let the user choose the template of resulting COBOL programs. A small set of run-time functions are provided to the user, supplying also its sources.
CICS, DB2 and DL/I are supported.

Within many Mainframe shops, organizational data is held in the so-called VSAM (Virtual storage access method) files. Retrieving and updating data stored in VSAM is not as efficient as using relational database systems. Switching is sometimes the optimal solution.
VSAM is a Data Management method used to organize, store, catalog, retrieve and delete the datasets in mainframe system

.
VSAM datasets require more storage space compared to other type of datasets due to Control Information (CI) present in them.
There is one solution; transferring the data into a relational database, whilst retaining the application logic through the use of an interpreter/gateway layer.

This results in an improved availability of data and greater ease of integration of other features and products.
