Migrating Oracle Pro*Cobol Applications

Let Ispirer Systems walk you through the experience of migrating Oracle Pro*Cobol applications. Ispirer Toolkit application migration tool is a powerful instrument capable of handling even most challenging application conversion tasks.

What is Oracle Pro*Cobol

The programming tool Pro*Cobol Precompiler lets a developer embed SQL statements in a COBOL program. With the help of Pro*Cobol Precompiler SQL statements can be converted in the COBOL program into standard Oracle run-time library calls. After that the generated output file can be compiled, linked, and run as per usual.

Pro*Cobol Precompiler is used when there is the need to achieve rapid development and compatibility with other systems.

Pro*COBOL supports the following:

• Oracle databases release 8.1.x and higher
• Embedded PL/SQL blocks
• Bundled database calls, which can provide better performance in client/server environments
• Full ANSI compliance for embedded SQL programming
• Calls to PL/SQL stored procedures
