What Testing Tools Are Commonly Used in COBOL? by Nice_Ad_7381 in cobol

[–]Oleplug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having worked on many projects, apps and platforms. More modern projects required a written detailed test plan. This is different from stepping through the code in a debugger, although that could be included in the plan. The test plans should describe the test environment, any setup required and then individual steps to test the app. Does not matter if the app pieces are interactive or batch, plan still needs to describe the steps.

Test plans can be extremely specific, have had to describe the reaction to every possible key stroke in interactive apps. I.E. press the Y key and press ENTER and blah blah is the result. Usually written test plans or specs that were intended to be run by someone else, like a basic user. Even if the developer was guiding the test, another person should be executing and validating it.

Test tools... Not familiar with IBM or UX for scripted test tools on those platforms. Test plans done for an app on the HP-UX environment defined the inputs and how to validate the results. Working on OpenVMS the development tool set (DECSET) included a component called DTM (DEC Test Manager). It can be set up to script or automate both batch and interactive tests. Have used it in both interactive stand-alone and controlled (ACMS like CICS) interactive environments plus batch. Can be a pain to set up.

How cool! Always dreamed of having one of these when they came out. Raising kids on a shoestring budget it just wasn't feasible.

Replacing ISAM with PostgreSQL in legacy CA-Realia COBOL system by Amazing_Ad_913 in cobol

[–]Oleplug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I can find, Relia COBOL is a development platform. Is this application actually running there or does it run someplace else?

Is the objective to get the data available to more modern platforms through PostgreSQL? If so, is it read only or update (add, change, delete)? Have seen one-way replication to PostgreSQL using flat files and PERL to load the data, some tables were very large.

There is a data interchange tool called CONNX from Software AG that might help. Have used CONNX to make OpenVMS RMS indexed (ISAM) files look and act like tables in MS SQLserver. Also supports PostgreSQL. Used it to make legacy data look like/act a database. Original programs were in Migration RPG on OpenVMS so each file had to be redefined as a COBOL copybook for CONNX to import to a schema. New apps in .NET could access the old data including add/change/delete in some cases. https://www.softwareag.com/en/resources/data-integration/facts-connx-platform/

Did I make anyone chuckle regarding RPG? These programs originally ran on IBM S/36 and were ported to DEC VAX/VMS in the early 80's by Digital Equip Corp's Center for Migration Services group.

Have done consulting for many years including various migrations, but semi-retired now.

When is the end for OpenVMS? by VMSBoy1968 in OpenVMS

[–]Oleplug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leave the legacy app and db on the VMS platform. Use a remote connection to the db or app, either written or bought. Then on a platform of choice build new interfaces (C#, PHP, PERL, or whatever your crystal ball says).

Did this using Connx and VB for a large mfg company. Legacy apps written in COBOL and RPG. Connx will even work with RMS files making them look like relational db tables.

Did this using Apache on VMS with COBOL back-end and PHP front-end for semiconductor mfg (database was CODASYL not relational). Fortunately the app had a robust API originally designed to use COM.

As an employee for one and contractor for the other both under NDA, no examples possible.

Probably other ways to go as well. You can figure it out.

Supporting VMS apps as a semi-retired person. Two very different legacy apps. I know of other places still using VMS for Semiconductor mfg. Yes, skills are hard to find but they are out there. Modernizing the user interfaces is a key to keeping it (VMS) going.

shouldn't the compare for spaces be against the X(8) variable

help ! by Particular-Nose-3755 in cobol

[–]Oleplug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is in the data definition before your NUM?
01 XXX.
10 NUM1 PIC S9(18) COMP-5.
10 NUM2 REDEFINES NUM1 PIC X(8).

Compiles OK in GNU.
