Here’s how ProStart can speed up OCL to CL conversion by up to 75%.

Even if you’re an experienced S/38 or AS/400 CL programmer, ProStart will considerably shorten the time-consuming OCL to CL conversion task. And if you’re not so experienced, you’ll save even more time. ProStart will automatically structure your CL program correctly while translating most OCL commands into CL commands. In fact, depending upon the application and level of programming expertise, programmers have reported time savings of up to 75%.

Sample Commands:

• PROMPT: becomes DCLFSNDRCF statements
• CONDITIONAL & SUBSTITUTION: declares variables and implements within CONDITIONAL RETURN: replaced with a GOTO CL command; branches to a tag automatically created called @EXIT@ before file deallocation
• LOCAL: becomes command statement CHGDTAARA
• User procedure with substitution expression
• REGION: no equivalent function, thus dropped
• SORT: becomes FMTDTA command
• EVALUATE: is converted to several ‘DCL (declare variable)’ and ‘CHGVAR (change variable)’ statements
