RainCode includes a patch mechanism, which aims at performing automated modifications on large amounts of source code. The patch mechanism is a natural extension of the compliance facilities of RainCode. After finding a non-compliant construct, in many cases, the source code can be corrected automatically.

Even if the compliance rule which is violated cannot be corrected automatically, the patch mechanism can be used to insert an error message in the source file, and thereby, invalidate it for compilation until the problem that caused RainCode to complain has been corrected.

The patch mechanism is versatile and convenient:

It provides high-level facilities to delete, replace or move entire sub-trees of the parse tree.
It can be used in a line-oriented fashion, as well as a character by character fashion, whatever is more convenient.
It maintains a list of patches that are applied when the patched version is written back to disk, so that line and column positions are not altered by previous line insertions or deletions.

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. Get your own license on RainCode Online.
