COBOL Software and Services

Information Computing Services (ICS) offers COBOL software and services in the areas of COBOL documentation, application understanding, legacy and mainframe COBOL migration, and COBOL report generation.

COBOL Documentation and Application Understanding

Document and understand your mainframe COBOL applications with the Data Correlation and Documentation (DCD III) system. DCD III is a comprehensive mainframe COBOL documentation and application understanding tool that allows developers to document, understand, debug, and maintain COBOL application programs. It is a COBOL programming tool that exponentially reduces the time and costs involved in the development and maintenance of COBOL programs and analyzing application source code.

The muscle power of DCD III is its handling of nested COPY's, reference modification, DL1, CICS and SQL. From and To Field positions are added in decimal and/or hexadecimal. It can handle COPY's with the SUPPRESS feature in a unique and resourceful manner. For the Mainframe, DCD III runs smoothly in systems using ENDEAVOR or any other software.

DCD III provides nine separate condensed cross-reference reports, to replace lengthy compiler cross-reference reports. One of the most used features is the COMPILE MODE where it replaces the Compile Listing with its own sophisticated reports to really make things easy for your business. DCD III makes it possible to solve both Direct and Indirect references with only one page flip for mainframe, and one mouse click for the PC!

DCD III produces JCL analysis reports on either JCLPROC libraries or JCL JOB libraries. DCD III has many more COBOL documentation and application understanding benefits and features.

If you would like to request an evaluation copy of DCD III or pricing information, please complete the brief form at DCD III COBOL Documentation.

COBOL Legacy and Mainframe Migration

Migrate your mainframe COBOL applications to open systems platforms, such as Windows, AIX and Linux, with OpenSCL.

OpenSCL is an effective COBOL mainframe migration solution for companies who need to:
  1. Move legacy applications off the mainframe to more modern operating systems.
  2. Reduce mainframe development costs.
  3. Find alternatives to expensive mainframe hardware upgrades.
OpenSCL provides a mainframe operating environment that runs on a desktop or server with Windows and Unix-based operating systems.

OpenSCL is based on a well-established, tried and tested mainframe technology. It operates with the same functionality as the Virtual Machine Environment (VME) operating system. OpenSCL offers a unique proposition of marrying the mainframe to the desktop or server.

COBOL Print and Report Generator

Generate graphical COBOL reports with RPV Reports. Include graphics, such as charts, photos, logos, images and more, in your COBOL reports to improve the quality of your reports.

COBOL Report RPV

RPV Reports is a COBOL report generator that can read plain text print files created by any COBOL program and generate, preview and print COBOL reports in Microsoft Windows that includes graphics. From any COBOL program running on any platform from the desktop to the mainframe, you can easily call RPV Reports to:
  1. Print to any printer compatible with and accepted by Microsoft Windows.
  2. Include color, images, barcodes, hyperlinks, watermarks, page footers, variable fonts, and other graphics in your COBOL reports.
  3. Export COBOL reports to be opened by Microsoft Excel.
  4. Send COBOL reports by e-mail.
  5. Print COBOL reports remotely.
