The clients had proceeded with the first level of conversion using the third party tool namely the Solutions Migration Limited (SML) tool which converted the Assembler code of particular system into COBOL. Since, the SML generated COBOL code is not compliance to client coding standard and was not readable as it followed the assembly coding techniques. The following are the System objective of the project we owned. ü The selected system code is converted and implemented with the scheduled project time line. ü The converted code is as per client coding standard and it is maintainable. Page 6 of 7 ü The converted code, once implemented, does not negatively impact performance. ü The converted system is functioning as the existing system.
