COBOL Sage-COBOL code generation and debugging tool

Example

A developer needs to write a new program to integrate with a COBOL-based mainframe for processing payroll data. COBOL Sage assists in writing new modules, helping with standard COBOL syntax and ensuring compliance with the business logic.

Scenario

A large retail company that runs payroll on a COBOL system must create a new routine for a recent government-mandated change in tax calculations. COBOL Sage could assist the developers in writing code that follows COBOL's best practices while ensuring the tax logic is implemented correctly.

Example

An engineer is struggling to find why a batch COBOL job intermittently fails during end-of-day processing. COBOL Sage could guide the developer step-by-step in tracing the problem, such as identifying incorrect file handling or variable overflow.

Scenario

A legacy government system occasionally produces incorrect reports due to batch job failures. COBOL Sage aids in diagnosing the issue, pinpointing the exact line of code where the error originates, and suggesting fixes or optimizations, like restructuring loops or file access methods.

Example

An enterprise needs to integrate its COBOL system with a modern Java-based front-end for web services. COBOL Sage provides recommendations on how to safely expose COBOL functionality via APIs or middleware.

Scenario

An insurance company wants to allow customers to retrieve policy information through a web portal, but the data resides on a COBOL system. COBOL Sage could assist developers in building the necessary interfaces between COBOL and web services, ensuring the mainframe's business logic remains intact while providing real-time data access.
