The architecture of CB2CONV comprises several key components designed for efficient COBOL code conversion. The main components include the Conversion Engine, the Configuration Manager, the Input/Output Handler, and the Logging Module. The Conversion Engine is responsible for parsing the input COBOL source code, analyzing its syntax, and translating it to ANSI 85 COBOL.
The Configuration Manager handles the loading and application of conversion rules defined in configuration files. The Input/Output Handler manages file operations, reading the input source code and writing the converted code to the output file. The Logging Module records all activities, errors, and warnings during the conversion process.
These components communicate through a modular design, allowing for independent operation and maintenance. The utility uses file-based storage for input and output COBOL source code, as well as configuration files. There are no specific network requirements or open ports for CB2CONV, as it operates locally on the z/OS or zVSE/VSEn platform.
cbl)`. Compared to other conversion tools, CB2CONV's architecture prioritizes accuracy and platform compatibility, particularly for mainframe environments. The configuration files allow for extensive customization of the conversion process, enabling users to tailor the output to their specific needs.
The detailed logging capabilities provide comprehensive audit trails and facilitate troubleshooting.
