GoodFly for RM is the solution for the migration of applications made in RM COBOL with WOW to Visual COBOL for .NetWith this innovative solution, several companies have already done in short time modernization project of COBOL applications to .Net with minimal impact in terms of intervention on the code.
The result is a new greatly enhanced user interface that can be used through web and mobile channels.
The main features of the solution are:
Automatic conversion of COBOL-WOW projects with the creation of WPF screen set.
Separation is maintained between the mask and the source, just like in COBOL-WOW. The logic of the program is not changed in any way: the program pilots cobol masks and not vice versa.
Support of all COBOL-WOW controls.
Support of Active-X controls.
Support of the main COBOL-WOW functions (WowGetProp, WowSetProp, WowAddItem, WowGetMessage, etc..).
Emulation of the COBOL-WOW event management.
Conversion, when necessary, of RM/COBOL statements not compatible with Visual Cobol.
Support of the main RM/COBOL P$ spooler functions for printing.
Ability to manage the control through the COBOL-WOW native calls or directly through the object reference.
Ability to add new control to the forms, and to handle them in a native way.
The analyzer/code generator can be used in order to perform automatic changes to the sources and thus facilitate the migration (not only related to WOW functions).
