Arguments for the migration from RPG to COBOL with "RTC"
from RPG
- It is extremely difficult to find up-and-coming programmers
- No DB2 linkage
- No up-to date tools for RPG available (e.g. debuggers)
to COBOL
- X-Open standardized language (portability)
- Simple maintenance
- Independent of "RPG know-how"
- With the option of choosing later on:
- file I/O techniques
- presentation variants
- client / server concepts
- OLTP architecture
with RTC
- In use with more than 100 customers
- Generates pure COBOL source code
- Clear interfaces
- RPG logic structure generates simple COBOL instructions
- Diverse additional information in file and list form
