Abstract
Cobol is the most used programming language, but often Cobol programs have poor structure and design. This means the maintenance process is a hard-yet-indispensable process, so tools are needed to make it easier and more efficient. This paper explores an option to support efforts in this direction, based on re-engineering and object oriented technologies, which consists of the migration of Cobol to Object-Oriented Cobol. Because Object Oriented Cobol will be a part of the imminent new ANSI Cobol standard, the proposed idea represents on of the new possibilities to explore which have been opened by it.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
