If you need a report writer:
- COBOL Report Writer Precompiler (5798-DYR) MVS,
VM, and VSE. (This is not part of the ANSI 85
standard.)
If you want to analyze and restructure your COBOL
source code:
- COBOL Structuring Facility (5696-737)
- VisualAge COBOL, Enterprise for OS/2 and Windows NT Version 2.2
(5639-B92)
helps you to understand your complex COBOL
applications by presenting graphical and textual views of
the physical design of the application and restructures
the programs into simpler forms. You can see a program's
relative complexity and locate date flow in and between
programs in executable units.

For testing:
If you are converting ANSI 68/74 source
code, using one of the conversion tools will greatly ease and
speed the task.
The conversion tools convert source programs written in
- OS/VS COBOL
- DOS/VS COBOL
- ANSI 74 standard VS
COBOL II
To ANSI 85 standard:
- COBOL for MVS & VM
- COBOL for OS/390 & VM
- COBOL for VSE/ESA™
- ILE COBOL for AS/400
- VisualAge COBOL
- COBOL Set for AIX®
- VS COBOL II (Release 3 and above)
- CCCA: COBOL
and CICS Command Level Conversion
Aid (5785-ABJ)
- CCCA/VSE: COBOL and CICS
Command Level Conversion Aid (5785-CCC)
Features:
- Converts most syntax differences between the
"old" and current IBM COBOL.
- Removes or converts the Base Locator for Linkage (BLL)
- Eliminates conflicts between user-defined names and
reserved words
- Converts both source programs and copybooks
- Creates conversion management reports
- Produces a statement-by statement diagnostic listing
showing the result of the conversion process for each
program
- Flags elements not converted
- Converts EXEC CICS commands
- Enhances programmer productivity during migration
- Tolerates Report Writer statements
- Customizable (ex. panels, compiler choices)
If you are going to use the analysis tools from VisualAge COBOL for your year 2000 work, you can use the
conversion facility in a snap.
for a look at how to get started and
to see how easy it is to set it up.. The
Redeveloper is a development environment for analyzing and
maintaining legacy COBOL programs and
applications, part of VisualAge COBOL
Enterprise.
VisualAge COBOL offers tools that enable you to fully
leverage existing COBOL resources in a client/server environment,
taking advantage of distributed processing. If your application
source, JCL, and so on is host-based, you still have the ease of
use and convenience of the workstation at your disposal. The
Redeveloper reaches out to you, as it were. The programs must be
compiled by COBOL for MVS
& VM (or COBOL for OS/390 & VM) or
VisualAge COBOL for analysis.

COBOL.
