Abstract

In this paper an approach for automated source-to-sourcetranslation from Cobol to Java is presented. The primarygoal of this approach is to ensure that the generatedcode will be maintainable. In some cases this is achievedeven by sacrificing complete functional equivalence of thegenerated code with the original program. We also intensivelyuse encapsulation to hide away difficulties of languageconversion process from the maintenance engineer.We discuss results of practical application of this approachon examples taken from the real-life programs.
