The Acucorp Migration Framework  ACUCOBOL-GT seeks to ease your HP3000 migration, and extend the life of your legacy applications with : – Compatibility with HP COBOL Syntax – Partnerships with migration specialists, and emulation software specialists – Rich extensions to COBOL, providing conversion options, where necessary – Portability of compiled object code – Application Modernization opportunities

Compatibility with HP COBOL  ACUCOBOL-GT provides a port for the HP e3000  Syntax compatibility is extended using –Cp compiler argument – Provides support for HP3000 system intrinsics – Provides support for MPE KSAM, relative, and sequential file system interface

Compatibility using HP 3000 Emulation software  On the HP 3000 or on other platforms with the use of 3 rd -party software – QEdit Source File support in compiler – HP Terminal Emulation Support – IMAGE-Compatible Technologies

Alternatives to HP 3000 Emulation Software  ACUCOBOL-GT library routines  ANSI 89 COBOL intrinsic functions  Host system functions  Custom functions  Solutions exist to convert VPLUS forms into a format that can be used with the AcuBench Screen Designer

Application Modernization  Data Access Options – VISION Indexed File System – Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, Informix – XML, via AcuXML or C$XML  Graphical User Interface – AcuBench – ACUCOBOL-GT’s Thin Client technology – AcuXUI  Interoperability with Java and.NET

Technology Merge Plans Priorities  Transitioning Acucorp’s unique technologies into a single Micro Focus compiler and runtime  Maintaining key partnerships with technology leaders that support Acucorp and Micro Focus COBOL solutions  Developing specifications for the –Cp compiler option- and we would like your help in prioritizing
