Consultant - Confidential

Independent consultant performing COBOL migrations. Migrations from Tandem COBOL to MicroFocus COBOL. Designed testing procedures. Recently completed a migration tool to convert Microfocus GUI Dialog to Acucobol. It's always a challenging undertaking to migrate legacy applications to newer platforms. Especially when the legacy platform combines assembler routines specific to the source platform or worse proprietary modules. This was the case with moving an application written in Microfocus COBOL that utilizes its own graphical user interface.
In this case Dialog is a very powerful GUI it embodies a rich set of instructions for dealing with user interaction. When it comes to moving the application to a new platform this is more of a curse than a blessing. They are a combination of COBOL and basic like statements.
The tight integration between the Dialog procedures and the calling program rules out a simple call to a new GUI manager. The Dialog subprogram maintains detailed information as to the current state of things between the GUI and the COBOL program.
