You want to improve the quality of your COBOL sources?
You think code maintenance is money and time consuming?
RainCode Online's restructuring service automatically restructures COBOL code.
The main transformations are the removal of unused labels or dead code,
the replacement of GOTO-based loops by equivalent more structured constructs,
the systematic use of some optional keywords (THENs, END-Ifs, etc…),
and some cosmetic enhancements, such as systematic indentation.
You will find here all the RainCode offer related to the COBOL language.
First of all, you will find information about the
RainCode Engine for COBOL, which is the
main technology we provide for COBOL.
It detects, counts, and measures non-trivial things in your COBOL code,
and it can take any corrective or preventive action in it.
RainCode actually reads the COBOL source code and builds an annotated parse
tree after a fully documented object model. A scripting language can then be
used to walk through the parse tree, taking full advantage of the features
provided by the object model.
If you want to automatically generate technical documentation about your
sources, you may want to use the RainCode Roadmap
for COBOL.
The RainCode Checker for COBOL is a product
dedicated to the verification of code conventions. It measures
compliance to coding standards based on style or on technical matters, such
as portability.
If you want to visit some other sites about COBOL, you will find a few
here.
Downloadable demo and evaluation version
Do you want to see RainCode at work ? It is simple and easy: just
register
here and log in. On the download page, you will have access to the demonstration version of the RainCode Engine for COBOL.
It is not a mere slide show presenting the product, this demo is an actual
running version of RainCode, together with a few typical scripts.
It shows you some of the
essential functions of the tool applied to real COBOL
samples. Running the demo, you will get, for each step, a
complete explanation
of the task RainCode is about to perform. You will see the scripts
which make the tool work,
and the source on which it is applied. Of course, you also get to see
the result of the application.
In less than 5 minutes, you'll see for yourself what RainCode can
do for you.
Now available, an actual evaluation version of the RainCode Engine
for COBOL. Write your own RainCode scripts on a set of given COBOL
sources.
March 2008: RainCode proudly releases a complete Datacom migration
solution
named
DataKom
which covers all aspects of Datacom migration: CA-IDEAL,
COBOL programs and data migration.
September 2007: The
RainCode Checker for COBOL
computes the
size and offsets
of
data elements according to the ANSI standard, and can be used to find and
analyze data elements based on how and where they are represented physically
in memory.
January 2007: The
RainCode Checker for COBOL
is released, with over 70 coding guidelines
built-in. The RainCode Checker can be used to check
large portfolios
against project-wide or company-wide coding guidelines.
June 2006: The various versions of the
RainCode engine now
provides access to
native lexical information from within scripts, so that
coding guidelines related to the position of keywords, alignements, etc.
can be coded much more efficiently than before.
February 2005:
RainCode decides to distribute the RainCode Engine for Ada, C,
and COBOL
for FREE.
